The lack of semantics tools does not make the complex any easier. One of the commonly from these database design process to be exposed to a comprehensive various phases of database design [SF 91, ACS 378], it is also observed that there is lack of support tools to help studenta in the database design process. This paper represents the experience that the authors had in a database course, from the both the student s and the instructor s pointa of view, and their attempt to solve some of the problems encountered by providing a tool to better aid the database design process.
