Ultimately, extension points and Java API in Eclipse exist for the purpose of enabling extenders to use the underlying components in their own applications. To the end, Eclipse projects concentrate on delivering extensible frameworks and exemplary tools. The purpose of this page is to document the use cases covered by these extensions. In other words, we are anwsering the question "What can I build on DTP?"

In each section below, use cases are provided for each DTP project, to demonstrate extensibility dimensions.

• Capturing Database Specific Details with the Database Definition Model
• Specializing the SQL Model for Specific Databases

• Managing Data Source Drivers with DTP
• Connecting to a Data Source with DTP

• Creating a Custom ODA Data Source
• Extending an ODA Runtime Driver
• Consuming ODA Data Sources

• Extending SQL Editor Framework
