Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler

Kris Rice – Director of Development

Agenda

Technical and Feature Review• Focus on Developer Productivity• Introduction to SQL Developer Data Modeler• Audience• Technology• Review Features• Update on Packaging

Strategic RationaleWhy are we in the Data Modeling Market?

• Oracle has a strong suite of Database Developer Tools • SQL Developer Data Modeler provides a competitive

data modeling tool relative to best-of-breed niche providers

• Niche vendors have critical mass • Niche vendors provide full data lifecycle

development• Adding data modeling further improves Oracle’s

position in database tools by• Filling current functionality gaps• Adding specialized domain expertise

• Displacing market leaders:• CA Erwin, MS Visual Studio, MS Visio,

Embarcadero ER/Studio, Sybase Power Designer, IBM Rational Data Architect

What is SQL Developer Data Modeler?

• A visual diagramming and data modeling tool• A single tool for different users and functionality

• Data Architect to build logical data models

• Database Developer to model relational models (tables and columns)

• DBA to add tablespaces, partitions to the tables

Why use Oracle SQL Developer Modeler?

• A single tool with different features and for different audiences and users

• A diagram is a powerful communication tool• Logical Model for architects and users• Relational model for developers• Physical model for database administrators• Viewer for all users

• Extend Oracle product suite• Improve Application Development

• Will have better quality• Are easier to maintain• Have shorter Time to Market
