Abstract
Automated generation of schema and interface methods is described. The system receives a schema definition file, which in one aspect of the system is an XML file. The system parses the schema definition file into an internal representation comprising collection classes. A SQL generator traverses the collection classes and generates SQL statements that define tables, views and stored procedures. A component generator traverses the collection classes and generates computer program source code implementing components that access properties defined in the schema definition data, and methods that provide for persistent storage of the objects in a database.
