Programs For Database Design

[SPetty1979]

Are there any good programs out there for database design/layout?

Anything that might work better than sheet after sheet of paper getting laid out on a desk?

Free would be good, but still would like to know about others.

Thanks
Shawn

Look at the postings about DBDesigner4 and DBDesignerFork in thread669-1282691.

Dezign for Databases allows graphical design and generates SQL for specific databases. I like it.

I currently downloaded DBDesigner4, looks like it might work so far.

lespaul, I know i have looked at Dezign for DB a long time ago, and couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the program. I may have to revisit that one as well.

Thanks for the help everyone!
