Message-Id: <10658.119969@fatcity.com> From: Diana Duncan Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2000 10:34:28 -0400 Subject: RE: Database design tool Opinions only: ER/Studio - very good tool, if somewhat buggy sometimes and does not yet support "instead-of" triggers on views. One great feature is the ability to export schema diagrams to image files. This is what I use daily now, and I'm quite happy. ERwin - formerly my absolute favorite (when it was Logicworks and then Platinum), it is now languishing at the hands of CA. I couldn't even get a working demo version for 8i, even after signing scary contracts. While I love the tool, I'd avoid it. (caveat - I'm an ex-CA acquired employee) Designer 2000 - a great tool, but serious overkill for ER modelling. I recommend Designer for anyone who is serious about generating a large percentage of their entire system.
