Free Sybase Power Designer 15 Viewer!

If you ever receive a Sybase Power Designer file (such as the pdm file from Jeff Tallman) but you don’t want to either purchase or install the full blown Power Designer, then I have an answer for you.  It is the Power Designer Viewer from Sybase.

While it is free, you have to fill out a form to get access to the download.  Sybase Sales will likely call you regarding purchasing a full blown version of Power Designer.  If you’re not interested in purchasing it, just tell them – Sybase Sales People are generally very nice folk. :)

I asked Jeff Tallman if I could redistribute his excellent MDA posters for Sybase’s ASE 15.5 database server.  He said yes so …  here they are in both Adobe PDF and Sybase PowerDesigner PDM formats!

Jeff Tallman also provided us with the MDA posters for Sybase 15.0.3 last year.

Native support of SQLite in Sybase PowerBuilder and PowerDesigner?

Filed Under: ASE, Databases, IBM DB2, Linux, Mac OSX, Microsoft, MySQL, Oracle, OS, PostgreSQL, Powerbuilder, SQL Server, SQLite, Sybase, Windows, Workspace by Jason L Froebe — 2 Comments

What I would love to see is native support for SQLite. http://www.sqlite.org

It is the most installed embedded database on the planet hands down.  Don’t believe me?  You know that Firefox web browser, Thunderbird newsreader, most Adobe products, Miro, etc all have it embedded?  – reference http://www.sqlite.org/mostdeployed.html

We use it extensively at work as:

  1. staging for mass data imports/exports/conversions
  2. local application ‘cache’ for large data sets
  3. projects that don’t require all the features of Sybase ASE (or Oracle for that matter)

One of the best features is that the database itself in platform independent… copy the db on to AIX from your Windows box … then on to your old Amiga … then on to your windows mobile device.  Getting the point?  :)

I really wish Sybase would make it so that the Sybase ASE databases were truly platform and character set/sort order independent… but that is in another dream ;-)

Not a blurb in the PowerDesigner/PowerBuilder manuals or anything
