I need to find a database design tool in which the user : 1) Specifies a model of the database ( i.e. Entity / Relationship methodology or other data driven methodologies ) And 2) Specifies database threads ( transactions ) that will be executed. ** Also, is there anything out there ( or being developed ) that can help predict performance of distributed, heterogeneous databases before actually implementing them ? If so, then : 1) What information is needed from the user to predict performance ? 2) How is performance measured ? If there is any tool out there which claims to perform some of the tasks I descibed, I would greatly appreciate hearing about it. If you cannot reach me directly, please post your response. Thank for your help, Elizabeth Cirello
