It's is aimed to replace ErWIN or AppModeler/PowerDesigner.

FKs for sure, schemas probably too.

Triggers are db specific, and thus virtually non-supportable if the 
model should be database independent. Still, I have some ideas how to 
create models targeted at more than one db system supporting views 
(which often need to be designed individually for performance reasons) 
and triggers. Same about functions.
