Why "especially if you use a modelling tool"?

Products like ERwin, Sybase PowerDesigner, Oracle’s Designer or Embarcadero’s ER/Studio do a great job of helping you design a database but none of these check the resulting schema for consistency or integrity. If there are flaws in the database schema, chances are these won't be picked up until the application is being tested or, worse, in production.

By then, the cost of fixing schema flaws is extremely high because programs have been written and data generated and loaded.

Using DB-Examiner to validate a schema during the design stage eliminates errors earlier, which means big benefits in terms of cost, time - and your reputation.
