Hi Friends,
What data modelling tools are u using when u visualize your database
design after applications systems analysis phase? I found MS Access
data modeller handy :) does oracle had an easy counterpart tool?
I never heard about the oracle designer for a long time. :D
Thanks
You could make use of VISIO, also a MS product.
Back in my designer days I used 'Oracle Designer 2000'; at the time it was just about the only tool available, but as the years & my jobs have since moved on I'm not sure if anything else has come along.
Now if I want to visualize my Db design I just close my eyes & think hard :D
The best I've used in terms of usability has probably been ER studio, but it's not cheap. I've used Designer but it can be over complicated, depending on what you're trying to achieve.
Currently I'm forced (and I literally mean forced!) to use Visio. In case you hadn't guessed I'm not a big fan of it.

If you're a Java developer go for ARGO/J-DEVELOPER/MAGICDRAW.
ERWin, OracleDesigner, Visio, QDesigner are still available.
But I'd rather use those open source.
Visio? I thot it is used only in drawing flowcharts/process flow
Not entity relationship diagrams/tables/links.
