You can buy the Developer's Edition of SQL Server (with Enterprise Manager) for only $49.00 at an computer store website. If you're too cheap to buy that, then you won't buy the shareware fees for a free software either so I don't want to give you any ideas.

| Plenty...just not what you're looking for. If a DB modeling tool were easy to create there would be lots of free ones available.I don't suppose you've tried Sourceforge yet? |
