Build scalable multi-tier database solutions. RemObjects Data Abstract for .NET is an RAD tool for writing multi-tier solutions in .NET and Mono. RemObjects Data Abstract allows you to create services that access any database, by providing a clear separation between data-access and business-logic. Data Abstract for .NET will enable your applications to interface with different database systems, even simultaneously, instead of depending from any single one. RemObjects Data Abstract for .NET supports a wide range of database back-ends, including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Interbase/Firebird, Sybase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite and many more.

Data Abstract for .NET and Mono is a data-access framework built on top of ADO.NET and designed to create distributed cross-database systems. Extending RemObjects SDK for .NET, it allows you to create services that access any database by providing a clear separation between data-access and business-logic. Through the use of schemas and the Schema Modeler utility, it enables you to maintain a unique code base to access multiple database engines at the same time. Cross database systems are now as simple to build as single database ones.

Data Abstract Schema Modeler

Data Abstract's use of Schemas enables you to maintain a unique code base to access multiple database engines at the same time, making it easy to build cross database systems.

Schemas shield both the middle-tier business logic and the client applications from the intricacies of the back-end database by defining the proper commands and data tables and mapping these to the physical data sources.

Data Abstract includes the Schema Modeler utility, which is deeply integrated with the supported IDEs, to aid you in designing and maintaining Schema definitions. Schema Modeler includes tools for creating data tables and commands from the underlying database, designing the mappings for individual data sources and defining master/detail and foreign key relationships.
