Hi

I am going to design a database. It will have almost 200 tables. Before I start to create my tables in SQL server directly, I would like to use a tool to design my database with tables and post it to the SQL server back.
I will also print my relations between tables to discuss with my coworkers.

Can you recommend any tool for me?

Thank you

Embarcadero has some good tools for this.
http://www.embarcadero.com/

SQL Server Management studio will also allow you to model your database and push changes to directly to the database.
The biggest disadvange is that it doesn't support printing. You can copy the model to your clipboard and paste into word.
The biggest advantage is that it's free.

With 200 tables, anything you use will be hard to print because it will be big.
