Re: ER Studio vs. Erwin vs. Oracle designer.

I have worked with both ER Studio and Oracle designer.

ER Studio is easier to use, but lacks some features, such as You can not create any PK name you want
You have to type in storage clause info for each table, etc.

Designer is more robust, but more complex to set up and use. Itself is a oracle instance.

Depending on how big the project is, if it is small, then pickup ER/Studio. If it is a complex one, then choose Designer.

Hope this helps.
