摘要：Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERD) seems like a dying art, but many proponents believe that they should be the starting point of all software development projects. A new data modeling tool developed by Oracle could change the way data modeling in taught in today's classrooms. The powerful and easy to use tool that supports ERD allows a student to learn the entire cycle from logical to relational and finally to the physical design of the database. We present the way the tool was introduced in an introductory database management class. It is our belief that students can develop a higher level of expertise on the difficult concepts of database modeling and design with the aid of this tool.
