  • Data Modeler Viewer — enables the browsing of the database schema objects.
  • Many enhancements in response to requests from the Oracle community
  • Migration Workbench support for Teradata and IBM DB2 UDB for Linux, UNIX and Windows. — extends from previously announced support for Sybase ASE R12&15, MSSQL Server 2000&2005, and Microsoft Access
