Logic Works enters UNIX case market with native Sun Solaris version of acclaimed data modeling tool

Business Wire, August 30, 1995

developer of the industry's leading database and application design tools, Wednesday introduced ERwin/ERX for Solaris -- a native Sun Solaris version of the company's acclaimed data modeling tool.

Logic Works' ERwin is a powerful database design tool that enhances the design and generation of relational database applications.

The release of ERwin/ERX for Solaris demonstrates Logic Works' commitment to providing the cross-platform open solution for data modeling.

With the release of ERwin/ERX for Solaris, Logic Works now supports the two dominant client/server development platforms -- Windows and UNIX -- and brings ERwin's powerful database design capabilities to users in finance, manufacturing, government, education, telecommunications, and other industries in which UNIX is a dominant operating system.

"As UNIX-based systems gain momentum in mainstream computing environments, the need for scalable, industrial-strength data modeling tools increases," noted Logic Works CEO and President Ben Cohen.

"In addition, many UNIX shops today are under enormous pressure due to an increased demand for database applications coupled with a shortage of UNIX database application developers. ERwin/ERX for Solaris addresses these needs and strengthens Logic Works' position as the leading provider of data modeling tools for heterogeneous, multi-platform development environments."

ERwin for Solaris address a variety of critical issues facing UNIX application developers -- most notably the need for rapid, intuitive database design in the relational database application development process.

ERwin/ERX for Solaris builds and generates stored procedures and triggers directly from the data model, resulting in dramatically reduced development time and improved data integrity. ERwin further enhances productivity by enabling developers to drive system tables from the logical data model and generate tables, indexes, defaults, and domain and column constraints -- all automatically.

With ERwin/ERX for Solaris, developers can establish a link to the database server to forward- and reverse-engineer relational database applications. Team development is facilitated with an open dictionary, from which data models can be checked in or out as SQL tables. ERwin/ERX for Solaris easily integrates with other members of the ERwin family, and supports Oracle, Informix, Sybase, CA-Ingres, DB2, and other leading relational database products.

ERwin/ERX for Solaris is available immediately.
