GeneXus is a knowledge-based software development tool, mainly oriented to enterprise-class applications for the web and Windows platforms. The developer specifies his applications in a high-level (mostly declarative) fashion, from which native code is generated for multiple environments.
GeneXus includes a normalization module, which creates and maintains an optimal database structure based on the non-normalized data model defined by the users, a declarative (rules-based) language and a simple yet powerful procedural language.
The languages for which code can be generated include Cobol, Visual Basic, Visual FoxPro, Ruby, C# and Java, currently with emphasis on the latter three. Most popular DBMSs are supported, such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Informix, PostgreSQL and MySQL.
