Supported Uniface Database Facilities
Uniface provides facilities for working with databases:
- Create Table —generates SQL command scripts needed to build the database tables in the supported DBMS based on definitions in the application model. For more information, see Create Table Facility and /genSql.
- Create Script—generates DBMS-specific SQL scripts for maintaining referential integrity in the DBMS. The scripts map relationships defined in the application model to declarative constraints and database triggers in the database. For more information, see Create Script Facility and /genSql.
- Load Definitions— load database table definitions from the data dictionary of the selected DBMS into the Uniface model. This enables you to create an application model based on an existing database. For more information, see Load Definitions Facility.
Support for these utilities depends on the database connector.
