So - if Oracle isn't a dirty word for you SQL Server database architects, you may want to check out Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler. But this may be something I'm doing wrong. There is a little bit of a problem between the Schema in Relational Design and its implementation in Physical design - Physical doesn't always pick up the mapping you specified. Also, SDDM tends to output UNIX/Linux style newlines, not the standard carriage return/linefeeds expected by Windows. The worst problem is that the "GO" command needs to appear on a separate line and sometimes the newline is missing. Only problem I've had with it, is that I usually need to manually edit the output a bit. You can also create a Physical Database design for SQL Server and SDDM will create DDL appropriate for your database - it understands the differences.

Like SDDM, Oracle XE is free to use, and while limited, it has no trouble hosting an SDDM reporting repository.

This is why I asked my system administrator to set up a server with an Oracle Express Edition (Oracle XE) database, just for my private use for SDDM reports. The Reporting Repository needs to be in an Oracle database - sorry. But if you want to write SQL queries or reports against your data model, you will want to export your model to a Reporting Repository.

SDDM has a pretty good reporting capability and I'm only beginning to learn its full capabilities. But one thing you CAN do is open a relational diagram in SDDM and drag objects onto it from the SQL Server connection in SQL Developer. So there are limitations to what you can do in the SQL Worksheet. Just one warning - SQL Developer doesn't really understand T-SQL, Microsoft's counterpart to both SQL*Plus style scripting and PL/SQL. Or if you are using SDDM embedded in SQL Developer, you can open a connection to your SQL Server database in SQL Developer, and do many of the normal SQL Developer tasks. Now open SDDM and select Tools/Preferences and find "Third Party JDBC Drivers":įill in the blanks, and off you go: you can now import from the SQL Server Database Dictionary to reverse engineer your database into a Relational Design.
#TOAD DATA MODELER NOT GENERATING SCRIPT DRIVER#
So instead, I'm using the free open source jTDS JDBC driver for SQL Server and Sybase (Sybase is a close cousin to SQL Server). Neither does Eclipse, which I'm currently using as my primary IDE. While Microsoft does have a JDBC driver that you can download, and it does work with SDDM's stand-alone version, SDDM also comes bundled with Oracle SQL Developer and that DOESN'T work with Microsoft's driver. All you need to do is register a JDBC driver for it. So, as I said, SDDM works perfectly well with a SQL Server database. SDDM Forum - The people listed above, other users and even SDDM's developers, especially Phillip Stoyanov answer your questions.Kent Graziano - especially good at using SDDM to design Data Warehouses.Dave Schleis - expert on SDDM scripting, especially with Groovy.Heli from Finland - Author of an excellent book about SDDM.Jeff Smith - Oracle's Product manager for the tool.There is good information and support available even if you don't have a contract with Oracle Support.Whatever SDDM can't do, you can probably script - more on this in a later post.They call it Entity/Relationship diagramming (logical) but it isn't really. Some tools just model databases (relational) - tables, columns, foreign keys. It understands the difference between Logical, Relational, and Physical Modeling.It supports DDL generation for databases other than Oracle RDBMS - including SQL Server.It can reverse engineer from SQL Server - all you have to do is point it at a SQL Server JDBC driver.
#TOAD DATA MODELER NOT GENERATING SCRIPT INSTALL#
But to install SDDM, you just unzip - which I CAN do. I haven't been allowed administrative authority on my government issued laptop, so I can't install software.While there are other data modeling tools out there, and some (ERWin and TOAD Data Modeler are two I've used) are very good, I prefer SDDM. My tool of preference is Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (SDDM). Even though my target database in my new job is Microsoft SQL Server rather than Oracle RDBMS, I still use an Oracle tool for a key part of my work - data modeling.
