Re: Data modeling freeware recommendations

[Chuck Murray <charles -dot- murray -at- oracle -dot- com>]

If I can put in a "plug" for one of the products I document (help and 
user's guide, single-sourced), Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler is a 
free tool that may meet your needs. Just to double-check, I asked our 
product manager (Sue Harper), who replied:

"Yes - Data Modeler works for this.  You could reply to the list to say 
that SQL Developer Data Modeler supports a number of different 
diagramming models including multi-dimensional and relational models. 
They can certainly connect to and import the definitions of these fact 
and dimension tables and create a model based on those.  There are a few 
tutorials and demos on the Oracle Technology Network to help them get 
started."
