Designing Object Model with UML Class Diagram - Visual Paradigm

DB-VA Designer’s Guide Chapter 3 – Designing Object Model with UML Class Diagram
Adding ORM-Persistable Class
ORM-Persistable class is capable of manipulating the persistent data with the relational database. In supporting the generation
of persistent code, ORM-Persistable classes should be used in object modeling. Classes added to the class diagram can be
stereotyped as ORM-Persistable to manipulate the database. For information on how to specify the stereotype to a class, refer
to Specifying Stereotypes section.
DB-VA provides an alternative way to add the ORM-Persistable class easily.
