I am a present Designer/2000 on the PC to read my HP Unix Oracle database. I have finally given up on the product. Oracle support for this product is horrible. The tutorial for the product is nothing more than a marketing pitch. Since receiving my package last month, they have already shipped 2 bug fix releases. I was told by an Oracle tech support person that Oracle plans on releasing fixes to the product every six weeks. To me this does not sound like a stable product. It sounds more like an alpha or beta.

I found the documentation to be a joke.... There is not even a reference manual or tutorial. When I asked Oracle Support on how I am supposed to learn the package, they told me to go to Oracle Training.

Remember that Designer/2000 does not support Oracle 7.0. I just received Erwin and got it up in a very short time. The re-engineering process went smoothly to download the HP Unix table elements to the PC. I have not used to product extensively as yet, however, my initial response is that Erwin is excellent.

Hope this helps...
