Wow, I'v always been thinking that Oracle docs are rather good including
Designer. And I found them that.
You need at least two steps
1. In design editor generate->capture design of->server model->fill in
appropriate fields
2. In repository object navigator utilities->table to entity rettrofit->
and thats it!

Would you mind explaining to me how to go about reverse-engineering a
database with Designer please.  I downloaded Designer6i a couple of weeks
ago, and have been trying ever since to figure out how to reverse-engineer
our database into an ER diagram, but the docs for Designer are absolutely
WORTHLESS, and it doesn't explain anywhere (not that I can find anyway) HOW
to go about doing a reverse-engineering of an existing database.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks.

Magesh,

You could use either of the following tools to build your ERD through
reverse engineering.

1. Oracle Designer
2. ERWIN

In my company we use both the above products.  I personally prefer using
Oracle Designer due to many reasons (My reasons are irrelevant here for the
purpose of answering your question).

If it is one time job, then you could download either of the products free
(Please check whether you could do reverse engineering with a free
downloaded version).
