Visual schema/E-R design: the ability to draw entity-relationship diagrams for the database. If missing, the following two features will also be missing; Reverse engineering - the ability to produce an ER diagram from a database, complete with foreign key relationships

A data model provides the details of information to be stored, and is of primary use when the final product is the generation of computer software code for an application or the preparation of a functional specification to aid a computer software make-or-buy decision.
