Getting Started |
Quest Software's Toad Data Modeler helps organizations create, maintain and document their database systems with an easy-to-use graphical interface into new or existing database structures. Toad Data Modeler enables users to reverse engineer database structures, update models, design and generate SQL, compare models and generate alter scripts, create HTML or RTF reports, in addition to versioning of database designs and creation of to-do lists.
Toad Data Modeler 3.x represents a major increase in the capabilities in comparison to Toad Data Modeler 2.x. It's a much more powerful database design tool bringing users many new efficient and useful features that are accompanied by completely new, clear and intuitive user interface.
The following is a list of issues addressed and enhancements implemented in this release of Toad Data Modeler.

Toad Data Modeler 3.x allows you to open DM2 files and DMX files of Toad Data Modeler 2.x. (DMX file is a DM2 file in XML format.) This applies only to models of database systems that are supported by both applications - Toad Data Modeler 2.x and Toad Data Modeler 3.x.
It is not possible to open models created in Toad Data Modeler 3.x in Toad Data Modeler 2.x.
Do not open and resave models originally created in higher version of Toad
Data Modeler (e.g. in v. 3.2.5) in lower version of Toad
Data Modeler (e.g. v. 3.1.5).
