Has good productivity features
ceiphilDecember 18, 2011
Pros
This package has streamlined the ERD process to enable you to focus on your design as opposed to finalizing attributes too early. By avoiding the definition of keys, while making the relationships functional, the creators have eliminated a tedious, distracting, part of the process. The inclusion of a data entry facility and lookup table functionality, coupled with the use of Views is a real productivity boost. The quality of the drag and drop etc. is top notch.
Cons
I have little need for the SQL and interface methods generation features since my database engines are not supported, but those who use the supported engines should add their comments to be fair.
Summary
Although I had hoped to find a similar package as a web app, this desktop version appears quite capable and very easy to use.
Great ERD diagramming tool.
snottgaardOctober 22, 2011
Pros
Great diagramming, easy to lay out a logical database design.
Cons
Must download add-on's to enable physical DB output.
Summary
This is a great tool for platform independent database design. I find the interface tools a bit wanting, but otherwise I would recommend this program.
A Rare Gem
muunkkyJune 7, 2011
Pros
A graphical interface that exports what you need to develop locally and on the web.
Cons
Not too much documentation or tutorials, but not bad.
Summary
Has become an essential aspect of my workflow for architecture.
Great development tool.
snottgaardFebruary 9, 2011
Pros
Easy to create an ERD with entities, relationships, etc. Nice graphical interface. Generates textual documentation and DB scripts. Clean install.
Cons
Size of objects when diagramming methods/interfaces not adjustable, so can only get 3-4 on each page. Otherwise, no problems.
Summary
I used RISE to design an Oracle implementation for a community garden. Easy to create the ERD and enter details of entities and relationships. Creates formal documentation from the ERD.
