[OT] database modeling tool for the Mac




Hi,

Have you considered talking a look at Oracle SQL Developer? This is a very recently released tool that is free as in beer and contrary to the name also has support for other databases than Oracle. Just as long as you have a JDBC driver. Take a look at:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/ index.html

Now if you want a "UML" style modeler for database tables you need to be looking at Oracle JDeveloper which contains most of the tools in SQL Developer and a UML notation database modeler, this is also free as in beer:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/index.html

It is a bit bigger though; but you can slim it down by configuration the extensions in the same way that you would with other tools such as Eclipse.

Also, and importantly for this list, both tools are fully supported on OS X and separate downloads are available for apple users. Indeed they show how far the apple java vm has come that the amount of "porting" effort has been very small.

Hope this helps,

Gerard

Disclaimer, I work for Oracle on the JDeveloper product.

A few weeks ago, some kind person on this list mentioned a new favorite tool. It was something to help in working with databases. It may well have been Oracle specific, or perhaps not. I took it to be something like Toad:

  http://www.toadsoft.com/

When it was mentioned I checked out the website, agreed that it looked
interesting, decided to look into it, and then forgot all about it.
All traces of it seem to have been expunged from my browser's history,
and the mailing list search on Apple's site has been useless.

Could said kind person repeat his recommendation?  Or perhaps others
are in the same boat as me, stuck with SQL*Plus in Terminal.app (or in
an emacs buffer, which sucks only slightly less) and have discovered
something?  If not, then it's a shame, and it seems like fertile
ground for some industrious hackers, given how many developers seem to
be heading to the mac these days.
