Would you mind explaining to me how to go about reverse-engineering a database with Designer please. I downloaded Designer6i a couple of weeks ago, and have been trying ever since to figure out how to reverse-engineer our database into an ER diagram, but the docs for Designer are absolutely WORTHLESS, and it doesn't explain anywhere (not that I can find anyway) HOW to go about doing a reverse-engineering of an existing database.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

Magesh,

You could use either of the following tools to build your ERD through reverse engineering.

Oracle Designer
ERWIN

In my company we use both the above products. I personally prefer using Oracle Designer due to many reasons (My reasons are irrelevant here for the purpose of answering your question).

If it is one time job, then you could download either of the products free (Please check whether you could do reverse engineering with a free downloaded version).
