Hi Paul,
You can try these products:
- ER Studio www.embarcadero.com Probably the best value (features/price/performance) 1a) Power Designer - What didn't you like, what didn't it do?
- Rational Rose 98i www.rational.com (Only use if part of complete (re)-design development effort)
- ERwin www.platinum.com Recently sold to CA, very popular but I don't like the product and it's over-priced.
- Visio Enterprise www.visio.com Will create ERDs by reverse engineering the database, not really a database design tool.
