   It's on the download page of otn.oracle.com.   
      
   As for it's usage, the current production version has   
   some limitations:   
   - does not support generation of more than 512 tables   
   - does not support 9i ANSI syntax, and cannot correctly   
      create all outer joins (for which OMWB itself warns)   
   - has difficulties reading SQL Server 2000 online; works   
      OK when using the Disconnected Capture.   
   - Works OK with Access (usually smaller in number of objects,   
      limits don't get reached, probably   
   - Is inconsistent in usage of upper and lowercase object naming,   
      and usage of double quotes - resuling in malformed statements.   
      
   I'd suggest you simply try it, and see if you like it, and   
   can live with the limitations. I updated the internal repository   
   to get passed some of them (upper case...)
