A good database modeling tool? [closed]

Answer 1

If you mean for drawing Entity Relationship Diagrams, then I suggest Visio. It will even build your database from the Diagram.

Answer 2

ModelRight, from http://www.modelright.com is very good for physical modeling. Excellent support for Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, etc.

Answer 3

Funny as it is I've found:

WWW SQL Designer

to be useful in a pinch. I'm also a fan of his Instant SQL Formatter though by "instant" he means "not T-SQL" so you have to some slight hand editing of Profiler recorded statements to use his system fully.

Answer 4

try http://www.fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/ for MySQL

Answer 5

If it is for SQL Server I like the DB Diagram from SQL Server Management Studio.

Answer 6

If your employer is paying, ER Studio is fantastic. I don't know how other people can function without it. It easily makes me 50% more productive.
