I guess this is about higher level database modeling where the (object 
oriented) design of the data structures are automatically converted into 
sql-type tables.

The app will have the exporting of schema's as as an, well, export. This 
means that the UI is geared mostly towards designing like Umbrello does.

Looks like a good idea; something that users of hibernate have been doing 
via a command line app for some time.  And I guess thats the reason 
Jarosław does not recognize it; there are no tools like Hibernate (see 
http://www.hibernate.org/) for C++ :-)
