[RBASE-L] - RE: Documenting Database Structure - Looking for a Recommended Tool

Wed, 07 Jun 2006 16:21:29 -0700

StarDesigner was a product purchased by SYBASE.  This product has morphed into PowerDesigner.  Info follows:

PowerDesigner

PowerDesigner, a business process modeling approach to align business and IT, is an enterprise data modeling and database design solution that helps implement effective Enterprise Architecture and brings a powerful conceptual data model to your application development life cycle.
PowerDesigner uniquely combines several standard data modeling techniques (UML, Business Process Modeling and market-leading data modeling) together with leading development environments such as .NET, Workspace, PowerBuilder, Java™, Eclipse, etc., to bring business analysis and formal database design solutions to the traditional software development lifecycle. And it works with all modern RDBMS.

Unfortunately the product is outside my price range.  But the specs indicated that it could very closely match Curent and Future Rbase implementations via the underlying program customization features.

There is one free project similar to StarDesigner/Powerdesigner geared to MYSQL data base.  Since Source code is available for that project perhaps it could be adapted to RBase.  Unfortunately the C language and it's many varients are not in my shill set.

Remember, this was written for Windows 3.1. It was a product that was quite
amazing for its' time. I have tried to get a response from Sybase as to the
availability of the source code, but the original guy that granted permission
to RBase Developers to use copies of my copy had left the employ of Sybase and
I haven't been able to get a live person to talk to me by phone or return
emails on the subject...The short answer, is it could not be incorporated into
the RBase product under the terms of usage that Sybase had granted.
