As a developer who used to work with MySQL, I got used to DBDesigner. I
find it to be very intuitive, easy to use, and free.

However, it has two serious shortcomings:

1. It is not developed anymore. It is replaced with MySQL Workbench,
witch I personally don't like.
2. It works only with MySQL, so my team uses a Java tool which reads
DBDesigner files (old school XML) and generates DDL.
