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.
TOAD Data Modeler.
You might also want to look at DbSchema: http://www.dbschema.com/
Thanks, I have tried that also. It's nice, but it is not a true forward
engineer (drop and create can't be called that, and the DbSchema does
not generate true change scripts - then it requires extra effort
reimporting data after changes - and depending on the change, it can't
even be applied by drop/create).
