In SEQEB we have used SilverRun. Initially we imported data from our
legacy systems which were mainly written in COBOL using a network data
base on a Fujitsu mainframe.
It has also been used in modelling new databases initially for Ingres but
lately for Oracle.
We mainly use RDM but WRM (Workstation Repository Manager) is used also.
We have used the bridge to Oracle7 for both forward and reverse engineering.
The forward engineering produces SQL for creating Oracle tables, indexes
etc. and is good.
The reverse takes flat files produced by an extract sql script (supplied)
and uses them to build the model. We will probably use this to attempt to
ensure that the model reflects the actual database structure.
I could provide more detail if you are interested.
