C++Builder Architect combines data-driven rapid application development and heterogeneous high-speed data access with rich visual data modeling to help developers understand, design, and get the most value out of existing enterprise databases and data structures. C++Builder Architect includes everything in the Enterprise edition plus powerful database modeling and design capabilities:

• Reverse-engineer, analyze, and optimize databases
• Automatically generate database code from models for forward engineering
• Create logical and physical models based on information extracted from databases and script files
• Work with highly readable and navigable diagrams
• Advanced compare and merge with bidirectional comparisons and merges of model and database structures

C++Builder XE Starter

C++Builder XE Starter is a great way to get started with C++ visual development for Windows. C++Builder Starter includes a streamlined IDE with a code editor, compiler, and integrated debugger; two-way visual designers to speed development, hundreds of visual components, and InterBase Express for connectivity with the InterBase database.

Getting started on realizing your product vision or getting your startup off the ground can be difficult without seed capital or sales revenue. Outfitting developers with professional level tools can be cost prohibitive before you have product to sell. So the C++Builder Starter Edition is both designed and priced to allow individuals and startups to bootstrap their vision until related revenues reach $1,000 at which point a specially priced Professional Edition license can be purchased.

If you’re an individual you may use Starter Edition to create apps for your own use and apps that you can sell until your revenues reach $1,000 per year. If you’re a small company or organization without revenue (or up to $1,000 per year in revenue), you can also use the Starter Edition. Once your company's total revenue reaches US $1,000, or your team expands to more than 5 developers, you can move up to an unrestricted commercial license with a specially priced Professional edition license.

See the C++Builder Starter page for more information.
