[July 09, 2009] Oracle introduces SQL Developer Data Modeler Tweet Jul 09, 2009 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Oracle has introduced the SQL Developer Data Modeler that enables data modeling, design and development for the Oracle Database. According to the company, this standalone tool supports logical, relational, multi-dimensional, and data type modeling, while featuring multi-layered design and generation capabilities to produce conceptual entity relationship diagrams (ERDs) and transform them to relational models. Users can build, extend and modify a model as well as compare with existing designs. The company has said that Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler delivers a spectrum of data and database modeling capabilities spanning: visual entity relationship modeling; forward engineering ERDs to relational models; separate relational and physical models; and full spectrum of physical database definitions. The company has also said that the new tool integrates with Oracle SQL Developer, Oracle's graphical tool for database development, to let developers open and view previously developed designs as well as query, run and write reports against the reporting repository. Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler is available for all editions of Oracle Database 11g and runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. The tool is also available for Oracle Database 10g. Mike Hichwa, vice president of software development of Oracle, said: "Every successful application starts with a strong data model. Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler not only provides a graphical way to develop data models, but an effective way to communicate existing data models to application developers." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
