Re: Data Dictionary HELP!
Posted in 1997
Try Powersoft's PowerDesigner...comes in several modules which can be purchased separately. I've used the DataArchitect module to reverse engineer a 360-table database. You can then break the design into sub-modules and print each one out...easier to look at. Later on you can consider their Data Warehouse Suite, which covers the whole gamut from design to application objects to data warehousing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Herb Blacker Cimarron, Inc.
