Re: Database design tool

You have to get a patch for ERwin to work under 8i which means you have to call support to find out where the patch is. I found my experience with CA very painful indeed. It was two weeks I even got a call back from CA after submitting the web request to be contacted.

I used to like Sybase's Data Architect.
