About Entity Framework Core
Entity Framework (EF) Core is a lightweight, extensible, open source and cross-platform version of the popular Entity Framework data access technology. Enables .NET developers to work with a database using .NET objects. Eliminates the need for most of the data-access code that typically needs to be written. With EF Core, data access is performed using a model. A model is made up of entity classes and a context object that represents a session with the database. The context object allows querying and saving data. Generate a model from an existing database. Hand code a model to match the database. Once a model is created, use EF migrations to create a database from the model. Migrations allow evolving the database as the model changes. Instances of your entity classes are retrieved from the database using Language Integrated Query (LINQ). Data is created, deleted, and modified in the database using instances of your entity classes.

DTM Data Modeler
DTM Data Modeler is a CASE tool for database developers that supports both forward and reverse engineering. It is an easy-to-use tool allowing you to work both with logical and physical data models in the form of an entity-relationship diagram. The product is intended for database architects and developers and works with data sources via the ODBC interface, which means compatibility with all modern DBMS. Along with basic model properties (sets of entities and relationships between them), the program allows you to create indexes and triggers on the physical level corresponding to the tables of the database that is modeled. The foreign key migration feature makes schema development easier and more visual and also reduces the probability of errors in the integrity of the model. The program can create database schema objects directly in the database as well as create SQL scripts corresponding to the model and taking into account the settings specified by the user.
