Re: Database Tooling

Jon, I used EA back when I was heavily into ERD and it was considered 
one of the gold standard tools. This was some time ago, of course, but 
it looks like it has continued that level of functionality.

The entry edition is $229, and I'll bet that has most of what you need, 
with the caveat that it might not be 100% i aware.  Library lists on 
connections in particular are generally unknown outside of the IBM 
midrange world.  In any case, Sparx offers a free trial that will allow 
you to compare the various editions for 30 days.
