Hi!

    I would like to know if anyone knows some other software like dbvis
which be free.
    I am working in a project where all projects must be free.
    I have just looked for some and could not find nothing about it!

    Maybe anyone of you have just seen something anywhere.

    Regards,

Elielson Fontanezi

You can try DbVisualizer :
http://www.minq.se/products/dbvis/

I think it's a godd product.

There's also dbdoc, I think...

Hi....

There is a free tool that does the schema from a DIA (A gnome drawing tool)
which writes the diagram in XML, the address is http://tedia2sql.tigris.org

This is a perl script that just do that, but is very handy, You are asking for
something that converts from the database to a XML File(and you will have the
DIA diagram).

Try it, maybe this can help.

I have heard several folks on the list using DBDesigner and dia2sql
succesfully, though I have little experience with either myself. There
is a more comprhensive list at
http://techdocs.postgresql.org/oresources.php look under ERD and

Can anyone tell me what working with DBDesigner is like? Looking at the
screenshots, it looks a little... odd.

BTW:

dbdesigner: http://dbdesigner.sourceforge.net/
dia2sql: http://freshmeat.net/projects/dia2sql/?topic_id=45

They have a product called DbVisualizer that has both a free and a $79 version.
