We use Quest Spotlight too. It's very nice (but client is Windoze only) for viewing an active database and making sense of snapshot data.

fractal, are you using Quest Spotlight? The documentation says that's mainly a diagnostic tool, correct? Or am I mistaken?

I think I'm looking more for something like the MySQL control center; something developers can use to mock up databases, maybe even a tool w/ a tool that allows a user to draw the database relationships, and creates the DDL from those schematics.

Dr.,

We are using Quest Central. 99% of the time I just use it to look up table structures, but you can also run sql scripts,view/edit data,and I think even build stored procedures.

Much faster and less memory-intensive than the db2 control center.
