This article presents the technical and functional descriptions of a tool specifically designed for database re-engineering. As is well known, re-engineering is the process of (1) applying reverse engineering to a software product to obtain higher-level specifications and (2) using these specifications as the starting point for the development of a new version of the system. Thus, the complete process can be seen as a sequence of transformation functions that operate on the different sets involved in the whole process. The starting point of the re-engineering process is the physical schema of the database which is translated into a vendor-independent metamodel (the logical schema) and then translated into a class diagram representing a possible conceptual schema of the database. This diagram is then taken as the starting point for the code generation process, which produces an executable application for four possible different platforms.
