Follow UsNEW DELHI: The Eclipse Foundation, an open source community committed to the development of a universal development platform, and Sybase, Inc. provider of enterprise infrastructure and mobile software, have announced approval of the new Data Tools Platform (DTP) project proposal.
Sybase submitted the proposal in February. The DTP project shall provide a comprehensive set of data management frameworks and a representative suite of data management tools, which are essential for data centric application development.
According to Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation, "The DTP Project will be an enabling technology - the platform upon which more extensive data management products will be built." "Sybase is a recognized leader in data management and data tooling, and the Eclipse community will benefit greatly from its leadership on the new Data Tools Platform Project," he added.
To begin with, the DTP Project will contain the following three projects, and emphasize relational data sources and structures:
- Model Base - Provides the foundation for DTP, using industry best practices such as model-driven development with UML, and taking advantage of the Eclipse Modeling Framework. Initially included are models for driver definition, database definition, SQL and SQL Query.
- Connectivity - Includes components for defining, connecting to, and working with data sources, which include, Driver Management Framework, Connection Management Framework, JDBC connection support, Data Source Explorer, and Open Data Access.
- SQL Development Tools -Provides frameworks and tools for deep and broad SQL support, including: Routines Editor Framework, Routines Debugger Framework, SQL Query Parser, SQL Execution Plan Framework, SQL Editor, Visual SQL Builder, Results View, and Script History.
David Tong, vice president of engineering, Sybase said that DTP project will enable real-world development across a host of mixed software and hardware environments giving an edge to developers.
Additional members of the Project Management Committee on the DTP project include IBM and Actuate. For more information on the Eclipse DTP project, visit: http://www.eclipse.org/datatools.
