  • RE: Can anyone recommend training (a book, a tutorial, etc.) for ERwin?

    Honestly, I avoid ERwin almost completely. I've found that a whiteboard has more utility in data modeling. Or a dinner napkin and a Sharpie. Haven't touched ERWin...

  • RE: Can anyone recommend training (a book, a tutorial, etc.) for ERwin?

    Have you tried just searching for something?

    I found a few online training programs right away when I searched for "erwin training" in Bing.
