What is the design-time experience of the Pervasive Data Adapters? Can I browse and/or generate XML schemas?
The design-time experience for configuring adapters is a drag-and-drop graphical interface that is visually intuitive and easy to use. All composite data services are saved as XML files. Pervasive data adapters also ship with Repository Explorer, the heart of the adapter design tools. In this central location, you can launch all of the Designers, including the Map Designer, Join Designer, Extract Schema Designer, Structured Schema Designer, Source View Designer and Document Schema Designer. You can also open any Repository that you have created, and then open and run Composite Data Services, Transformations, or Schema files in the Repository list. In the Repository Explorer, you can access the version control functionality of CVS or Microsoft Visual SourceSafe. Additionally, you can check your files in and out of repositories using commands in Repository Explorer.
