DeZign for Databases Key Features and Benefits

Visual Database Modeling DeZign for Databases offers a intuitive visual interface that allows you to accurately design your database. It uses entity relationship diagrams (ERDs) to graphically design databases and produces high quality database diagrams, enabling you to present your design at various levels of detail. Database Development Lifecycle Generate databases: Generate complete DDL scripts to create your database or generate your database directly. Import databases: Derive a graphical data model from existing databases. Reverse engineer from the database directly or import from a SQL script. Database/model synchronization: Our data modeling product offers bi-directional compare and synchronize functionality for all synchronization use cases: model-to-database, model-to-script, database-to-model, script-to-model, model-to-model. Team Work: Compare and Merge Models When two or more people work on the same data model, DeZign for Databases V6 has a new compare and merge utility for projects. This utility allows developers to compare and merge two versions of the same data model.

Report Publishing Functions Customizable data model reports with different levels of detail can be generated. Descriptions and other relevant information will be exported to HTML, MS Word or PDF. Better Database Designs You can validate a model for errors any time during the design process. During validation, DeZign for Databases checks to make sure the elements in your model are correct and complete. Reusable objects (domains and attribute packages) and name templates promote consistent database object definitions. Physical Models or Database-Independent Models DeZign for Databases supports modeling for a specific target DBMS (physical) and it supports database-independent modeling with portable data types (logical). Easy-to-Use Modeling Environment DeZign for Databases follows the industry standard modeling processes and has a well-designed user interface which decreases the user's learning curve.
