My very personal opinion: Oracle has a good RBDMS, but all the
front-end tools I've seen so far by Oracle suck.

A very important point, unless your a Oracle-only shop. We use Oracle,
Interbase, SQL Anywhere, PC databases......... Des/2000 won't handle
all this.

In the current version, it does so only partially, but the upcoming
3.0 release (should be out Real Soon Now) will offer full support of
this. ERwin isn't standing still.......
