Free/open source DB Modelling tools

Hi all,

A quick overview of free and/or open source DB modelling tools.
I use them quite often, depending on the work I have to do and features I need.

Feel free to send a comment if you use another tool.

Hi, you have some open source tools in BI, follow this link to see (text in french) :
BI open source tools.
I think Talend is better than kettle, in performance and for drag & drop, you can see a benchmark ETL here.

In other hand, DBDesigner is deserted since 23/03/2003. You can see it successor MySQL Workbench
or DB Designer Fork
You have an alternative modeling tools in Oracle Compagny
Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeling

Du côté dashboarding et Sparklines, il existe une solution openSource pour MS Excel : http://sparklines-excel.blogspot.com/

Au moins utile pour un maquettage rapide.

Hi! for data modeling, check out Power Architect.

http://download.sqlpower.ca/architect/current.html

So far, I found this the best FOSS general purpose data modeller. It includes a profiling feature too, as well as an option to generate Kettle ETL jobs to migrate data.
