We are using PowerDesigner at work for database modelling. But there is a hell of a price tag on that piece of software. And frankly, all I use is physical diagrams for MS SQL, which is about 1% of what PD knows.
Are there any good alternatives? I know about Visio and MS SQL Diagrams, but looking for other options.
It is free and has source available. It is a java based tool so it will run on Unix or Windows.
PowerDesigner is the industry leading data modeling tool that offers a model-driven approach to empower and align business and IT. PowerDesigner enables enterprises to more easily visualize, analyze and manipulate metadata for effective enterprise information architecture.
Power*Architect is the way to go. It's free, open source, and does a really great job helping you build your ERDs. Plus, it works on Windows, Linux, and OSX.
