The Definition of Classes

Caché Object Architect is an integrated development environment for defining object classes in Caché. Caché’s Unified Data Architecture enables the automatic generation of tables (complete with columns and key fields) from class definitions defined in Caché Object Architect. Caché Object Architect generates Class Definition Language (CDL) to represent classes defined with it. And, of course, developers can write CDL code to define Caché classes. Caché Object Architect can export class definitions to other environments used in the OO world. For example, RoseCaché- Link provides a direct bi-directional interface to Rational Rose, the visual modeling tool (based on the object-oriented standard language UML) from Rational Software.
