We are starting to use Designer/2000. One of the main features of Designer/2000 is that it is highly integrated with the Oracle database and Forms 4.5. You should seriously consider it if you are working with an Oracle database. It is a full CASE tool. Not only will it design logical and physical data models, but you can develop a business model into functional modules, and runnable forms. I believe that the other products are only suitable for database design. Designer/2000 is also a multiuser product. Many analyst-developers can user the repository simultaneously. It's well optimized for Oracle enterprise development. Received on Wed May 15 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
