Re: Mapping Oracle Designer 2000 <--> Rational Rose?

Tim,

I'm no Power-That-Be, but do yourself and your company a favor by looking into Riverton's HOW CASE tool in lieu of Rational Rose. It is much easier to work with, more closely tied to the PFC of Powerbuilder, works with the ERWin Data modeler, and uses Domains like Des2K. It also partitions the application code into a presentation layer and a business object layer so that you can go 3-tier C/S and web-enabled simultaneously while reusing the business logic on the middle tier.

Too bad Oracle missed the boat on their Sedona project... Iceberg dead ahead...
