   Which database design tool   
   27 Jun 06 18:52:39   
   
   Hi, I am looking for a tool to document and maintain a large data   
   model (500 tables).   
   Oracle Designer used to be the tool of choice for this sort of thing.   
   But given the investment of effort we will be making, and the future   
   of Designer, it is not the tool of choice for new applications.   
      
   Can you recommend an alternative tool?   
   Our requirements are:   
      
   MUST HAVE   
   - Document tables, indexes, views etc   
   - generate DDL   
   - Create diagrams   
   - consolidate model with database   
      
   SHOULD HAVE   
   - Version control (preferably file-based, se we can use Subversion)   
   - generate reports (e.g. table listing including descriptions)   
   - command-line driven generation of DDL scripts (for inclusion in   
   daily build process)   
   - generate consolidation scripts (alter table ..)   
   - multi-user capability (simultaneous edits on different objects)   
      
   NOT REQUIRED   
   - Support for PL/SQL objects. We will maintain these in separate files   
      
   Suggestions please?   
   I'm especially interested whether anyone thinks that jDeveloper fits   
   this bill.   
      
   Thanks,   
   JD
