Quest Software Announces Release of QDesigner� to Round-Out Comprehensive

QDesigner Provides Efficient Database Analysis, Design and Construction

IRVINE, Calif., April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Quest Software, Inc. (Nasdaq:
QSFT), a leading provider of application management solutions, today
announced the release of QDesigner�, an innovative database design tool that
enables users to efficiently manage the process of application design from
data and object modeling to code generation, resulting in an enormous time
savings for the designers.

QDesigner accelerates database design and construction processes through the
use of advanced Entity/Relationship (ER) modeling techniques that include
the ability to "draw" database models, displaying an actual diagram of the
design before it is applied. QDesigner also allows designers, developers and
DBAs to visualize database components, so they can collaborate and share
ideas on how the database should be structured while it is being designed.

"Recently, customers have been asking for more functional database design
solutions," said Marshall Senk, vice president of marketing for Quest
Software. "With QDesigner, we are ready to meet that demand. We believe the
technology that QDesigner provides will allow IT resources to be more
efficiently deployed in the database design function. It not only rounds-out
Quest's development suite of products, but also provides users with an
advanced design and modeling tool."

QDesigner automates the process of creating and changing the application
components and underlying database structures and is especially useful in
environments where applications are utilized by many business units and
developed and supported by different portions of the IT organization.

"I've been a database administrator and data architect for ten years and
have used other design tools, but QDesigner is the first ER tool I've found
that provides such comprehensive design and analysis capabilities," said
Donna Maser, database administrator for the Celltech Group, one of Europe's
largest biopharmaceutical companies(1). "QDesigner delivers all the positive
features of its competitors and more. It is the first product of its kind
that can provide me with usable code directly from the model I lay out."

QDesigner joins Quest Software's solutions for SQL developers, SQL Navigator
and TOAD, which have been designed to enhance the productivity of users and
their applications by providing tools for designing, developing, testing and
impact analysis. QDesigner is now generally available with pricing starting
at $995 per server.

More reasonable than ERWin as well I should think..

I do not know of any good modeling tool for free, they
all charge $$$.

I found it a bit strange that you have all the
physical layout done then want to do an entity-
relationship diagram after...
