Group: Forum Members Posts: 13, Visits: 97	I am wondering what tools others are using to help design databases. For example, Visio, Case Studio, XCase, and others listed at http://www.datamodel.org/DesignToolsSection.html. Thanks, Charles Charles R Kelsoe

I have also strayed off and used ERwin from CA but as a smaller shop I just can't afford (or justify) $4000 USD for a data modeling tool; especially since I tend to build my database from my objects and not the other way around. Lance P.S. I just noticed that CA is offering a great deal right now on ERwin! You get a $200 iPod Nano with every purchase! LOL! What a steal!
