Well that sucks. I would personally take the data modeling tool over
the application diagramming tool.
It looks like Quantum DB is the same as the "Database Development" tool
in RDi. And I did not see a great deal of difference between the two.
It looks like both 'Quantum DB" and "database Development" tools are
mainly for working with data not the database design.
Looks like IBM decided to make us pay for the more useful tool (IMO: I
don't see the Application Diagramming tool all that useful since I
cannot diagram my own work with it). I can get a similar (although not
graphical) representation from HAWKEYE (job explosion/implosion).
Anyway, thanks, Matt

Hi Matt,
I believe the Data perspective has 'moved' to the RDi-SOA product now.
I
have heard the Quantum DB plugin is a decent replacement, but I have not
played with it myself.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] The data modeling perspective
My shop currently uses WDSC 7.0. It has a perspective called "Data".
It allows me to create data models for new applications. I love this
part if WDSC (since I do not need a tool like Access to map out
relationships).
