A stable data model ???
I've seen that in a dss application.
On oltp systems, I've been less lucky.
On the current project, I was in charge of studying
the switch from AMC Designer to Oracle Designer 6.
I've decided to stay with AMC Designer. Oracle
Designer 6 was too much overhead (we're a .com) and
very few people knew the product here.
At a previous client, we're using Designer 1.3.2, 2
Oracle gurus have spent weeks to configure it and
build the templates, we achieve 90% generation.
I do not think 100% generation is possible. For
example, the current version doesn't support
Intermedia indexes which is common nowadays (since
it's free).
