Eclipse EMF: an out-of-the-box CRUD for a database

This tutorial assumes that you have followed these other tutorials in the specified order: Eclipse EMF: Designing the Model Eclipse EMF: a CRUD at no-cost the goal here is to show how, with just some extra lines of code added to the EMF generated plugins, we can have our model persisted and maintained on a database. We will use MySQL as the target database, so make sure you have the access to such a database server (you can always download it at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql). We'll use the "test" schema (pre-loaded empty while installing MySQL); anyway you can use another schema simply [...]

Eclipse EMF: a CRUD at no-cost
