Talk:Comparison of data modeling tools

Untitled
I wish we could list all the data modeling tools on this page and it also provide brief comparison to make user easier to find what is needed.

Some consideration is to change column layout of the table to include something like
 * Supported OS
 * Supported database system
 * Forward/reverse engineering support or not
 * data warehouse design support
 * and so on.

pgDesigner
It seems like pgDesigner is also missing. Jason Quinn (talk) 12:21, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Conceptual/Physical/Logical design capabilitites
What is the specific criteria that this article is using to rate the Conceptual/Physical/Logical design capabilitites? We need to provide concrete criteria (what specific conceptual objects/database objects belong to each level) and not general definitions. It seems to me that the diagramatic crows feet notation that MySQL Workbench provides is indeed a Logical model, not a physical one. sebastianpy (talk) 8:37, 23 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.217.5.138 (talk)

Wine
Almost every tool on this list available for Windows WILL work with Wine at the platforms Wine supports. I don't see the point to include this information here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.114.19.168 (talk) 13:34, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

I agree that the information should be omitted, though for slightly different reasons. There is a big difference between:
 * 1) "The developer of the tool tests every version thoroughly under Wine on all Wine-supported platforms before release"
 * 2) "Somebody has tried to run some unspecified version of the tool on some platform under Wine and it seemed to work"

Case 1 would be useful information - if it ever occurred in practice. Case 2 is the usual situation and is not really informative. That's why I think it's pointless to mention Wine in this article. If somebody really wants to run a Windows program on some other OS, they can try Wine. It might work. That's really all one can say. Insulation2 (talk) 09:50, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
