Welcome to DAME

DAME is an acronym for Database Access Made Easy. DAME consists of a set of tools and libraries to remove the dredgery of manually writing database access code. DAME is developed in C++ on Linux(TM) using Antlr parser generator. The code should be portable to any platform with a standards-compliant C++ compiler. DAME can be used to generate classes in Java and C++. The generated Java code makes use of JDBC, so virtually any database can be accessed. C++ class libraries for accessing Oracle(TM), Postgresql and MySQL are provided.

A little bit of History

DAME in its previous incarnation was called SQLparser and was a closed source project. This tool helped our organization in reducing LOC of database access by almost 1/10th and was very useful. DAME was being kept in public domain hoping that the programming community at large can benifit by it.
