SQL DAL Maker is a generator of DTO, Model, and DAO classes to access relational databases. Target programming languages: PHP, Java, C++, Python, and Go. To generate the class, you declare it in XML meta-program.

At the stage of code generation, the target database must exist and be available for JDBC connection. Generated code is being synchronized with the current database schema using "live" JDBC metadata.

Implemented in Java as plug-ins for Eclipse IDE and IntelliJ-Platform.
