Consistent
Database Access Interface
MissionKit tools connect to all
major relational databases using a consistent, familiar SQL query interface.
Connecting is easy, and you never have to leave MissionKit to examine your
database structure or data as you work with the various MissionKit SQL tools.
In addition, since MissionKit supports all major relational databases alongside
today’s most prevalent standards-based data formats, it’s your go-to toolkit
for working in a multi-platform, real-world database environment.
Supported databases:
- Microsoft® SQL Server® 2000, 2005, 2008
- IBM DB2® 8, 9
- IBM DB2 for iSeries® v5.4, 6.1
- Oracle® 9i, 10g, 11g
- Sybase® 12
- MySQL® 4, 5
- PostgreSQL 8
- Microsoft Access™ 2003, 2007
XSLT
Options
XSLT is the transformation language
essential to data centric software development and data integration. MissionKit
provides numerous integrated options for XSLT creation and testing. When you
want to hand-code XSLT stylesheets, the text-based XSLT editor, debugger, and
profiler in XMLSpy are second-to-none. When you need to develop structural
transformations using XSLT, MapForce will auto-generate standards-based XSLT
from your graphically defined mapping. Or, if you need to present data in HTML,
PDF, or other output formats, select StyleVision for visual XSLT design. As
described above, all these transformation assets can be available in multiple
MissionKit tools for a smooth workflow.
Software
Modeling
Conceptual models are the heart and
soul of any successful enterprise software architecture, and Altova MissionKit
gives you the right tools for the job. From documenting use-cases and
requirements in UModel, to creating XML data models with the graphical XML
Schema editor in XMLSpy, the broad selection of modeling capabilities in
MissionKit provide a host of integration points. Model all the relationships in
an unfamiliar database by generating a diagram in the DatabaseSpy design view.
Communicate the information architecture of your project in the UML software
model with UModel XML Schema diagrams and database diagrams. Use the
code-generation capabilities of MapForce to automate data integration and
transformation tasks, and then load the generated code into UModel and
integrate it with your existing application architecture.
XBRL
Integration
Altova MissionKit XBRL tools deliver
end-to-end XBRL development and automation functionality, from extending
industry-standard XBRL taxonomies using the XMLSpy graphical XBRL taxonomy
editor, to mapping back-end SQL database data to the taxonomy in MapForce to
create a valid XBRL instance for filing, to processing and publishing that same
data in Web or print output formats in StyleVision. Regardless of the XBRL
development or data integration task at hand, synergy among MissionKit tools
makes the process clear and user-friendly.
