[TriLUG] Data Modeling Tools

[OlsonE at aosa.army.mil]

I think you're going to be hard pressed to find something open source
that's as robust as erwin. I'd steer away from oracle unless you're
really running some massive enterprise application. There's solutions
cheaper than oracle that fare just as well (such as mysql 5.x in a
cluster, mssql 2005, etc.)

I have used Oracle and the other tools I mentioned at various employers.
Now, I am doing this project on my own and don't have access to the
software previous employers provided.  After finishing development of
the application, I still will have the marketing time before any income
from sales will come my way!  Therefore, purchasing a database is out of
the question, but purchasing a development tool is a possibility if no
Open Source equivalent is available.
