Abstract

In the last four years we have implemented tools for various tasks associated with database design: logical design, physical design, and re-design. An integrated example is presented to review and illustrate the capabilities of these tools. Plans for integrating the tools themselves to provide a more complete and unified service to the database designer are also presented.
