Introduction

When used in conjunction with the Hibernate Designer module, the SQL Designer module enables you to control all aspects related to the data persistence of a Java J2EE application.

The Hibernate Designer module ensures the management of "Java data model" and object/relational mapping aspects, while the SQL Designer module handles the database modeling aspects.
