  Can anyone give me some advise for a database designing tool?

  I will mostly use SQL Server and Firebird. My application is also built on Delphi.

  I checked Devgems Data Modeler (http://www.devgems.com) and DDS-Lite (http://www.dds-lite.com/). Although the latter is slighty cheaper, the first one has a very nice interface and Delphi integration.

  Has anyone used one of the tools above, or know about any other similar?

  I know the more popular ones like Dezign (http://www.datanamic.com) and Toad Data Modeler

  (http://www.quest.com/toad-data-modeler/), but they are more expensive and the first two fits ok for my needs.

  Thanks for any advice!

  For Firebird there's a program called IBUils. Try it from here: http://www.unipals.cz/ibutils/ibutils.htm

  And for MSSQL look here for a list of tools: http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1057
