But on the other hand, when you have to think over the design of a future database or redesign an existing one, from our point of view it's more convenient to see the created (or modified) database structure as a database diagram with database relations displayed on it and perform the changes in the database structure on this database diagram.

As a database developer, I could type out the SQL code above in a few minutes. Using this application though I would be clicking and selecting options for at least half an hour. Even if I did type some errors, it would be seconds to fix compared to the minutes wasted going through dialogs, menus, and drop downs. I wouldn't even choose to use the tools in SQL server's SSMS or MS Access which are still much faster to use than all these dialogs. This seems crazy to me.
