Abstract
A graphical user interface on a computer system is provided for displaying objects in an object-oriented application and data stored in tables of a database. The graphical user interface displays a class view corresponding to one or more classes in the object-oriented application that in turn corresponds to tables in the database and displays a table view having one or more tables in a database corresponding to classes in the object-oriented application. In addition, the graphical user interface also displays a combination table-and-class view having database elements from the database adjacent to the object-oriented elements from the object-oriented application.
