DB Designer Fork 1.4 released

DB Designer Fork is a fork of the fabulous fabForce DB Designer 4. While DB Designer 4 was a system optimized for MySQL, DB Designer Fork generates scripts for Firebird/InterBase, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle and PostgreSQL. DBD Fork makes modeling, querying and SQL scripting easy tasks.

When compared to the release 1.2, DBD 1.4 is a more stable version with interface and scripting generation fixes.

If you want to create a multidatabase model, you have two options:

(1) to use only data types supported on all databases. These types are: char, varchar, float and integer. You can use boolean types as char(1) and time stamp types as char(15) (YYYYMMDDMMSSSSS).

(2) to create conceptual data types and map to physical data types for each database. We usually prefer the first option because it is the simplest.

It is impossible to create free software without users feedback. You are encouraged to send us bug reports, feature requests or any comments at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dbdesigner-fork .
