Tool Review (Free): DBDesignerForkI'm big on database design tools. I think a well-formed Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) is useful to developers, DBAs and Business Analysts. But, the tools that I've found to design databases are either too expensive, too big, or too non-standard. I especially dislike the one inside SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) for multiple reasons. So what's a poor DBA to do? Well, look for a free tool that does the job. I think I found a pretty good free one, and this week I'll give you a full rundown of DBDesignerFork and how I'm using it. This week's book spotlight is on Database Design for Mere Mortals®: A Hands-On Guide to Relational Database Design, 2nd Edition by Michael J. Hernandez. He's done a good job on explaining database design. |
