If you plan to use Oracle's full functionality, Designer/2000 is th
ONLY choice. The generation of the database side is rock solid. The
application side is less thorough, but it is realistic to get 35-60%
of the code generated. All of this assumes the proper use of the
tool, of course, lots of planning, analysis, and effort up front is
required. Unfortumately, I am in a situation best described by an old
saying among us modelers; "Application of CASE to a project headed for
trouble shortens the trip."
