| I am currently designing my high-school web site that will be implemented through PHP 4.0 (with gzip compression, LDAP, etc. . .) and Sybase's SQL server (and MySQL temporarily to get vBulletin working out for our developer discussion). We will have it link with Blackbaud, our school's grading, attendance, and central-command center to link with our "group" pages.
In order to do all this design, what is a good tool for designing a SQL database? I am interested in Sybase PowerDesigner--if there are any testimonials of it, please post. I am eager to document this site well and I need to find a good tool quickly (and use some of my school's funds :D). |
I'm sure MattR will be able to give you plenty of info on this and anything else about Sybase.
Personally I use Oracle Designer and Erwin, not because they're the best, but because my work already had licenses for them long before I showed up. :)
| :D I don't use anything special nor have I found a need for it; I use isql to run queries and such and if I want something graphical I use Sybase Central. I have no experience with PowerDesigner but I'll see if there's something I can find about it online for ya. |
Try ER Studio 5.0 from Embarcadero. It supports a whole lot of platforms and works really fine. You can download a free version at their site www.embarcadero.com
