Oracle Designer is fine (as the other replies said) WHEN IT WORKS. Elsewhere in here you'll find notes about problems getting it to work correctly with PO7 for Win 95. Earlier versions were buggy as hell - by Oracles own admission. 1.2 doesn't crash and burn as often as previous versions, but I'd bet it STILL has some bugs and problems that will bite you during design. I'd be a WHOLE LOT more confident in this and any other Oracle product if someone from Oracle would GET IN THIS NEWSGROUP and start ADDRESSING the problems discussed in here...

If you want a product that is ROCK SOLID and very seldom throws up on its feet perhaps the others might fit the bill better?
