Hi

I use OSA at work (Windows). Strange that I found no hits at OraFAQ for 'Open System Architect'. Nobody use that?!

Open System Architect

Open System Architect (OSA) is an application used for modelling a system. OSA currently supports data modelling (physical and logical) with UML in the works. The unique thing about OSA is that it is an Open Source product licensed under the General Public License (GPL). The free factor makes OSA particularly interesting for students but OSA is powerful enough to compare favourably with products costing thousands of dollars.

OSA is sponsored by CodeByDesign (the original developer of OSA) and by Source Forge (they host the community collaboration environment for OSA).

ERD (Logical & Physical)
ERD supports inheritance
ERD validation

SQL editor

cross-platform
cross-database

GPL (free)
... and much more

No downloads for Mac OS X. I have no Windows at home. What alternative do you recommend me? I need only a physical ERD for Oracle RDBMS.

Is there a free tool from Oracle with OS X support?

SQL Developer Data Modeler seems to have a Mac download.

It does Logical and Physical data models with forward and reverse engineer. It also has Data Flow Diagrams. It's also free!

I have been creating a demo presentation for my company and it compares very favorably against ERwin.
