Oracle7 Server Distributed Systems Volume I: Distributed Data

Development Tools

Although applications can be created using 3GL, 4GL, or SQL code, Oracle's Cooperative Development Environment (CDE) tool set provides a unified system for developing Oracle7 distributed applications.

Case Tools

Oracle's primary CDE tools are:

CASE*Designer: provides a graphical front-end for database design

CASE*Dictionary: provides a repository for system development information

CASE*Generator: generates application code modules

Oracle's CDE tools assist you in all phases of application development from design through implementation. It also simplifies the task of porting existing applications to different operating systems and platforms

Additional Information: See the CASE tool set documentation for full explanations of how to use CASE*Designer, CASE*Dictionary, and CASE*Generator to develop your applications.
