I use DeZign. Works well for what I need. Been using it for a few years now, but haven't upgraded to the new v3. I'm just curious to know what people are using... Generally, I use pencil and paper to start... ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

I have been modelling with Erwin for years now and though others may be better I have to admit I just grown used to it. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Most of the larger companies I work for use Erwin, so that's what I use because it's there. I wouldn't call myself a good data modeler. I've seen good ones, and I ain't one. Not sure I'd recognize a better ERD if I tripped over it.

Enterprise Manager only does MS SQL Server obviously, but the others pretty much to anything. ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

We use select compoent architect. Its pretty good at modelling and reversing an existing db into the model. It covers eveything from the business process management right down to C++/java etc code. But its a bugger to install and is very very expensive. I think I use about 15% of it. Anyone else use it? |

I've never heard of Select Component Architect, so I don't know anything about it. I use DeZign because it works and it affordable. I don't need to data model every day, so I can't justify thousands of dollars on one... Just me though. I've used Erwin, but couldn't justify spending a few thousand on it because I don't need that much. I can code well enough that the extras are just that.
