XML Application Development for Oracle Database
Altova, creator of XMLSpy and other leading software development tools, says that its software provides innovative new features 5 that simplify XML-related projects for Oracle database administrators and developers. These capabilities are unrivaled and provide the best value for Oracle specialists working with XML.
Cost Effective Oracle Database Support
The Altova Enterprise XML Suite 2005 is the ideal development environment for all XML development work with Oracle databases, including Oracle Database 10g. The Suite includes three Altova products--XMLSpy 2005, MapForce 2005, and StyleVision(R) 2005--bundled together for the price of two.(a) Key areas where these new product versions enhance XML application development for Oracle users include:
-- Graphical Schema Management - The industry standard XML development environment, Altova XMLSpy 2005, contains SchemaAgent, a visual tool for modeling and managing complex schemas and their components in workgroups. The SchemaAgent server can connect users to all of the XML Schemas stored in Oracle's XML-enabled database, promoting a collaborative environment on top of the schema repository. This allows developers to work together on schema development and share modular schemas as standardized components for reuse in composite schema designs.
-- Simplified Data Integration - Altova MapForce 2005 enables Oracle database users to easily integrate their data with XML, flat file, and EDI data through its intuitive visual data mapping interface. They simply drag connecting lines from data sources to targets and drop in data processing functions. Then MapForce automatically generates programming and transformation code for royalty-free use in their custom data integration applications. Additionally, Oracle users can create and reuse custom data processing functions with a visual function builder, thus saving precious development time by automating repetitive database mapping tasks.
-- Accelerated Stylesheet Design - Altova StyleVision 2005 features a unique visual design interface for creating stylesheets that can transform XML and data from Oracle databases into HTML, Word/RTF, and PDF formatted reports. Its unique meta-stylesheet approach helps eliminate hours of repetitious stylesheet development time. StyleVision 2005 also provides the ability to create database-enabled electronic forms, which allows users to design and produce intuitive Altova Authentic(R) electronic forms, which enable non-technical business users to write to, and read from, Oracle databases without being exposed to the underlying technology.
Advanced Standards Compliance
In addition to facilitating Oracle users' current development efforts, Altova software version 2005 also brings substantially more power to all XML related development with end-to-end support for the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) important new XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.0, and XQuery 1.0 specifications. With these new specifications, developers can now write less complex and convoluted code, thereby reducing errors and increasing productivity. Furthermore, increased programming functionality and strong data typing enable greater data processing capabilities and contribute significantly to improved code quality and reusability.
Of particular importance for database developers is Altova's advanced support for XQuery 1.0, an important new language for extracting information from XML documents and databases. With native support for editing, debugging, executing, and auto-generating XQuery code, Altova enables developers to get an early start on XQuery development to learn the new language and to fully prepare for when XQuery-enabled databases proliferate.
