Re: ER software for Oracle 8

[Quoted] I have used Designer/2000 for over two years and will probably be switching to Erwin soon. Besides the licensing issues, Designer/2000 does not give you any usable options for outputting diagrams. It seems to think the printer is the medium of choice. It does not output to WORD or PDF and Oracle's solution is to buy another product.
