I have used PowerDesigner for years and have found it to be a great tool. But it has always been very expensive. So I created DataArchitect. Data Architect is ERD centric, works on Win2K and Linux (has been ported to others such as OSX but not availible on those platforms yet). Its file format is XML and it works with MySQL and PostgreSQL... as well as others via the SQL92 model. I encourage you to check it out at... http://www.codebydesign.com/DataArchitect OR http://www.thekompany.com/products/dataarchitect/ Buying a copy will allow us to get more resources on this, and at least two Open Source projects (unixODBC and FreeTDS). Suffice to say we are not out to make a bucket load of cash we just want to fund our development. Some people buy Data Architect just to encourage the development. Of course; it is already very useful. Peter BTW: I am currently working on a Report Builder which is inspired by Crystal Reports. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
