Was the (mis)spelling of "architect" in your screen name intentional?

There are a lot of data modeling tools out there. I do not think there is one place where you can find all tools compared. The list mentioned above (btw, here is the up-to-date one: http://www.databaseanswers.org/modelling_tools.htm) just enumerates all known (to the webmaster) modeling tools.

Here’s a compare matrix of the some of the top modeling tools (ERwin vs. ER/Studio):

dan, that comparison link to your site is self-promotional, and self-promotional links should really be posted only in our Marketplace forum

and i am kind of curious how you think that your link to http://www.databaseanswers.org/modelling_tools.htm is more up-to-date than my link to http://www.databaseanswers.org/modelling_tools.htm

r937, Sorry, I thought that you posted http://www.databaseanswers.com/modelling_tools.htm (which is the older, but much more popular, version of the list).
My link was the same as yours; I did not realize that… -

Well, anyway, as far as the tool compare matrix… ignore the Modelright part… just look at the ERwin vs. ER/Studio part, as the two leading market tools. As someone familiar with both products, I think it is a fair compare of the physical capabilities of the two tools.

Cheers
