Rogue Wave Views Data Access
The Rogue Wave® Views Data Access package (formerly InForm) is a visual environment for developing graphic-intensive applications. Data Access enhances the functionality of graphic objects created with Rogue Wave Views by linking them to data sources. The Data Access package provides SQL data sources and enables the creation of new data sources to connect your information stream data-aware graphic objects.

Main Data Access Features
With Data Access you can rapidly create intuitive, user-friendly interfaces for client/server applications. These applications generally consist of forms, which contain a set of fields (text fields, check boxes, and so on). The values shown in these fields are the result of a mapping between the fields and the data from an external data system.
The mapping between the fields in the graphical user interface and the external data system is bidirectional: data can be retrieved from the database and displayed in the fields, and it can be modified by the user and updated in the external data source for long term storage.
Building applications is easy: simply drag GUI objects from Studio's palette and drop them into new panels. Data access is managed by data source objects: once connected to a database, tables and columns are displayed to build views. Simple point-and-click actions define classic SQL operations, all without writing a single line of code.
Data Access Extension for Rogue Wave Views Studio
Data Access provides a plug-in to Rogue Wave Views Studio. Studio is used both for building application interface panels and visually accessing the database. There is also a special interface that allows you to set up the connection with the external data source in a simple graphical way.
