Database Designer 2.0 for Windows ($350), from SerraCorp (Kent, OH), lets you use English sentences to design and automatically build normalized relational databases. The databases can be used with Access, Approach, Clipper, and Visual Basic; DOS and Windows versions of dBase, FoxPro, and Paradox; DBMS formats that can use or adapt ANSI-standard SQL; and Oracle and Sybase. You can reverse-engineer existing databases and their data and then convert these databases to any of the DBMSes that the program supports.
