Submitted by admin on Tue, 07/06/2010 - 09:22

SSDataWorks is an easy to use database design tool that allows DBAs and developers to create and maintain their SQL Server databases. Using entity relationship diagrams (ERD), users can easily visualize, analyze and manipulate their database metadata.

SSDataWorks provides a single interface for managing your SQL Server database schemas and objects, database design and extraction. You can easily visualize your existing databases, create new databases and/or reverse engineer existing databases and forward engineer your changes back to the database directly or as T-SQL scripts.

SSDataWorks has an easy to use interface to allow new users and experienced modelers alike, to quickly define new models. In addition, advanced features like column templates allow repetitive design tasks to be automated and provide code re-use.
