re. ERWin... I discovered 5+ years ago some people are using it to create
triggers which make it possible for child table to modify their parent
tables' values... I thought that ran counter to the whole rdbms
philosophy. Oh well.
re. SQL Data Modeler... I guess that means the idea of generating Oracle
Forms apps went out the window. Peter Koletske and others wrote books on
how to use Designer for that purpose. I understand that Java+ADF is more
trendy now though. Probably ensuring that everything is coordinated
properly over time to maintain that forward-engineering of Forms was too
difficult for bureaucracies to sustain.
thanks for all the comments.
