Note:

This program is designed to work with Microsoft SQL Server. It may also work with the
other DBMS as well. However, it may require some slight modification on the schema
for DBMS other than SQL Server. This program maximizes the flexibility for using
system generated schema. You can use the schema directly or use the schema as a 
template, and adding your custom DDL.
