Re: Is there a better way than pen and paper?

I think the beginning is always pen & paper, for a small draft.

But when I design a schema for Oracle in detail, I liked to use Power Designer from Sybase.
It can generate also SQL-Scripts for setting up databases of many other vendors, too.
You can try this tool for 40 days, I think, after it, You would have to buy it.
