A tutorial:

You would be surprised what results you'll get when you search google with "erwin tutorial".

Furthermore, I don't think you can download the software for free. At least not legally.

Why can't people just post a link without the snarky attitude?

Furthermore, you can download a community edition of Erwin from CA's site.

I've just started using Erwin; it seems moderately straight-forward to use; but it does have some quirky interface & nit-picky things that you have to get used to.

My $.02,

Rob

Why can't people use Google/Bing/Yahoo/... before they ask a question?

Furthermore, you can download a community edition of Erwin from CA's site.

The "snarky" attitude comes for thousands of people on dozens of sites demonstrating that they won't even try something so bloody obvious.

Speaking of "why can't people just post a link", where's the link for the community edition of Erwin that you spoke of? 😉

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

The original poster asked for a "good" site as opposed to "any" site that one can find on google. Sometimes that can save a person hours of not downloading "free" crippled software or bait-and-switch products.

Unfortunately the one link that was posted no longer exists. Today I found these 14 videos that are high density information:

ERwin Data Modeler Tutorial SS-BI Tutorials; 14 videos

CA does have a community edition of ERwin for learning; it only supports 25 tables. ERwin is an impressive piece of software. It is perfect for a standards control freak like me who likes to automate everything. Their built-in macro language is phenomenal.
