RE: Database design tool

Yup, got the patch, and it still didn't work. They also don't seem to be doing any upgrades, all of the support people are leaving...the usual CA story.

You have to get a patch for ERwin to work under 8i which means you have to call support
to find out where the patch is. I found my experience with CA very painful indeed. It
was two weeks I even got a call back from CA after submitting the web request to be
contacted.

I used to like Sybase's Data Architect.
