Maybe if you tell what iCASE stands for?
Designer is an upper- and lower case tool, meaning
you can design from a very high perspective (Business
rules, Functions, Entities) all the way down
to the technical implementation (code generation).

Some people may call that Integrated CASE (if that
s what the i stands for)

Hello Frank,

Thank you for your reply.
icase stands for integrated computer aided software engineering (like
you said).
If been doing some more research on this and it looks to me that the
differnence between CASE tools and ICASE tools is that CASE tools only
help with making the right diagrams (like UML) and ICASE actually
results in a working application. Is that correct?

Well I'm no big UML fan, but UML tools (depending on who/where they come
from) do far more than draw diagrams. They do generate code (as far as I
know), though they are generally aimed at straight oop programming, as
opposed to database/schema/etc generation.

You can find some material here:

From what I read there, Oracle Designer is an icase tool as well.
