Provided are techniques for invoking with a processor executing on a computer a source code parser to obtain source information that includes a first location of an Application Programming Interface (API) call and parameters of the API call in source code of a client application, where the parameters the API call do not include query text for a query that is to be used to access a database; examining a stack trace to determine a second location of the API call in the stack trace; and deriving the query of the API call and a third location of the query in the source code by identifying the query in the stack trace at the location of the API call in the stack trace.

Correlating queries issued by applications with their source lines and analyzing applications for problem determination and where used analysis

Provided are techniques for collecting client information for client applications running on a client computer, wherein the client information includes a client application identifier for each client application that issues queries to a database along with text of each of the queries that the client application issues; collecting database monitoring information that includes text of each query issued against the database and performance information for each query; combining the client information and the database monitoring information based on the text of the queries to obtain combined information that provides the client application identifier and the performance information for each of the queries; and identifying a problem query and at least one client application that has issued the problem query using the combined information.

Client and database problem determination and monitoring

Development tools are disclosed that connect various artifacts in a database aware fashion. For example, the development environment may integrate SQL query builders across multiple application development interfaces (e.g., a source code editor, XML editor, database scripting tools, etc.), significantly improving developer productivity, reducing development cost and time. Thus, the process of consuming heterogeneous artifacts in an application (or creating them for consumption) becomes a very productive experience, eliminating the need to manually cut/paste information in multiple project files in many cases.

Development environment configured to generate application source code from database objects

Embodiments of the invention introduce development tools that connect various artifacts in a database aware fashion. For example, embodiments of the invention integrate SQL query builders across multiple application development interfaces (e.g., a source code editor, XML editor, database scripting tools, etc.), significantly improving developer productivity, reducing development cost and time. Thus, the process of consuming heterogeneous artifacts in an application (or creating them for consumption) becomes a very productive experience, eliminating the need to manually cut/paste information in multiple project files in many cases.

Development environment for managing database aware software projects

A technique is disclosed for identifying impact of database changes on an application. Given a proposed database change, affected source code is identified that is affected by the proposed database change. References to the affected source code are created and organized into a hierarchy. A user can ascertain the extent of the impact by viewing the hierarchy and by using the hierarchy to access and view the affected source code in a visually distinct manner.
