Overall Satisfaction with DbSchema

This is a data modeling tool, used to generate accurate databases that implement correct data requirements. We gather the metadata as we go, so definitions and purpose information are captured. We can verify the design with test data generated from the tool, and can create web based pages to show the tables with data, customizable and simple to build.

Pros

  • Many database platforms supported
  • Direct database integration - option to have model actions reflected immediately in database.
  • Test data generation with Groovy scripting for control over specific profiles

Cons

  • Logical data model integration is weak. Need way to update existing models with changes
  • Conceptual data modeling is missing
  • DbSchema is very inexpensive, and functional, so easy to get a team started
DbSchema does a number of things very well, but is not as full featured as many customers will want
Some of the other Tools are no longer supported, and DbSchema is much less expensive than most of them.
