Re: Changing database to SQL from DDS

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Right on, Bruce. Forgot to say that about ERWin, forgot completely about 
ERStudio. I looked pretty hard at the 3 I mentioned a few years ago, in 
another life. I don't remember which I liked better. I think I took a brief 
look at ERStudio.

Evaluation demos are available - I think folks here would be impressed by 
what they can do with these tools.

Would you agree that most 400 shops have not had the DBA mentality? 
Programmers kind of roll their own, and there did not used to be disparate 
database systems in the same shop. That's changing, and tools like these 
can be a tremendous help.

Cheers

Vern
