Location / Home / Products / Data Architect / Overview
Discover what database professionals have known for years -- that enterprise databases are designed with enterprise modelling tools.
Why has this been a secret for so many? Why do so many labor with buckets full of error-prone undocumented SQL? Well, it seems no one has been able to pack the features of a quality data modelling tool into a product at a reasonable price -- not until now.

costing thousands of dollars!

Typical interaction
Run Data Architect on your favourite operating system. Create an ODBC Data Source Name (DSN) for the desired data source. Create a Data Architect Project and create a new ERD. Optionally adjust the validation rules for the model. Now prime your ERD by reverse engineering the existing database or start from scratch. Add/edit/document; domains, sequences, tables, views, and procedures. Validate the model. Use the quick navigation features of the output to quickly jump to any problems and correct. Generate a create script. Review, edit, and execute the script in the integrated Advanced SQL Editor. Print a data dictionary report to communicate the design and design desicisions to other or pass the open XML file along for use in third-party software.
