Yes it's better with mysql but works also through ODBC with other DB.. I personnaly use it as well with oracle and for a free tool, it's doing the job..

No need to concern yourself with vendor specific variations to SQL syntax. All is handled by the application. - Supports All Major Databases including Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Informix, Sybase (ASA and ASE), MySQL, PostgreSQL, Interbase, Access, SQLBase, Ingres, ANSI and Pervasive SQL. - Template Language to define the Data Definition Language scripts allows you to create the scripts exactly as you want them. - Java Source Code can be created directly from the Enhanced Entity Relationship Diagram to contain the Data Definition Language for any of the supported database targets. Source code can be compiled and executed from within the DDS-Lite environment. --------------- The $100 version doesn't do views, procedures, triggers, reverse engineering from existing dbs, or splitting big projects into multiple models. The $400 version does.
