So, as time went by, I just gave up of these tools. Basically, all I need is a graphical tool for this kind of job.<\/p>\n<p>So I discovered <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.risetobloome.com\/Default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">RISE<\/a><\/strong> (developed by a swedish company called RISE to Bloom). It have the basic attributes that, at least for me, make this product a winner:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Easy to use:<\/strong> the user interface is really simple. It didn&#8217;t take me a lot of time to understand it. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.risetobloome.com\/Image.aspx?item=724\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"303\" \/><\/li>\n<li><strong>Price<\/strong>: it&#8217;s free. I&#8217;m currently using the free version, which have all the basic functionalities I need. (this version also includes code generators for MySQL, SQLServer, C# and PHP).<strong>Warning<\/strong> RISE is not free software, it only have a free version.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy installation:<\/strong> the software is installed using .NET&#8217;s ClickOnce technology (as a Java developer, I just can&#8217;t avoid to feel kind of envy of this .NET feature when I remember Webstart&#8230;). As a pre-requisite, all you&#8217;ll need is .NET 3.5.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Actually, I have only one complaint about RISE: it&#8217;s based on .NET 3.5, which means that it will only run on Windows (I know that it&#8217;s possible to run it using some virtualization tool like VMWare). This may not be a problem for those which are used to work only with Windows, but unfortunetely, that&#8217;s not my case. Most of my work is done on Linux and Mac OS.<\/p>\n<p>So, here is my tip: if you need an ER diagram tool (for the Windows platform) which is easy to use, setup and offer a great cost-benefit, RISE may be the right tool for you.<\/p>\n<p>(actually, it&#8217;s unfair to call RISE &#8220;an ER diagram tool&#8221;, because it is in fact, as RISE to Bloom describes it: <em>&#8220;a software suite for Information System Engineering. It&#8217;s a tool for model driven system development, packed with features and functions needed to build your information model and to turn it into a complete information management solution.&#8221;<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.risetobloome.com\/Default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.risetobloome.com\/Default.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every time I start to work on an ER diagramming tool it&#8217;s the same story: the tool is quickly replaced by paper and pencil because it&#8217;s too expansive or too complex (or rough).
