## Overview What is DdlUtils Where to start ### What is DdlUtils In short, DdlUtils is both a library and a set of Ant tasks that allows the manipulation of schemas in a database. It allows to create and drop complete databases, and the creation, alteration and removal of tables. Additionally, it provides an easy way to insert data that is specified in XML, into a database and the reverse, extracting data from a database into an XML file. DdlUtils strives to be database independent. The schemas are specified in the database-agnostic Turbine XML format that is for instance also used by Torque and OJB. ### Where to start There are basically two ways to use DdlUtils which are explained in these sections: Examples of how to use the API are shown here.
