I was wondering to create a tool for diagramming and database forward
engineering.
There are already few tools around.
If you know a good diagramming tool able to database diff and forward engineering (with "ALTER
...", not "DROP and CREATE"), I would like to know (by today I do use one commercial
tool that is feature incomplete: DbWrench).
Among others, I've considered also:
- Sybase PowerDesigner: too expensive, does not support PostgreSQL 9.1/9.2, so
is not appropriate.
- ERWin: too expensive, and doesn't have proper support for PostgreSQL 9.1/9.2.
- NaviCat: is feature extensive, but they don't have real change scripts (are
drop/create).
- ModelRight: it's "change script" is not change at all (is just another
drop/create tool).
- TORA and other open source tools are really incomplete.
- TOAD is too confuse for simple day-by-day work.
Do you mean TOAD the "SQL Tool" or TOAD Data Modeler (TDM)? TDM is far from
perfect but quite nice actually.
You might also want to look at DbSchema: http://www.dbschema.com/
