Hello M,

Sorry for the format, it's copied & pasted from my wiki :

* Admin tools that allows modeling :
* http://www.Ibexpert.com
* [[http://www.sqlly.com][Interbase/Firebird Database Designer]] by
SQLLY (part of Ibadmin pro)
* EMS Interbase Manager

* IB/FB oriented CASE tools
* [[http://www.ibdataworks.com][IBDataworks]] : Visual IB/FB modelling

* Affordable general purpose CASE tools supporting IB
* http://www.xCase.com
* scripting thru TCL
* [[http://www.casestudio.com][CASE Studio]] :
* scripting thru JScript
* [[http://www.datanamic.com/][DeZign]]
* [[http://www.azzurri.jp/en/software/clay/index.jsp][Clay Database
Modelling Plugin for Eclipse]] (freeware)


I'm using xCase myself. It's a choice I made 3 years ago. Although I'm quite
satisfied with it, I don't swear I wouldn't evaluate other tools today. CASE
Studio "looks" nice.
Pros : completeness, TCL, numerous backend supported, price, reverse
engineering, model comparison/update
Cons : non-standard old fashionned GUI, so-so support (e-mail only)

If you only use IB/FB, maybe one of the aforementioned Admin tools will do
for you.

Best regards.

Greetings All,

Can anyone recommend a Data Modeling Tool for developing Databases?

I already know about DeZine for Databases www.datanamic.com
If anyone is using this and could give me their opinion, I would really
appreciate it.

Any others? Any place to look for a list of available tools and their
ratings by other users?
