Thread: Schema diagramming tool?
Can anyone recommend a good tool for producing a good drawing of an existing database schema? I don't need a design tool, but rather one that can take an existing schema and produce a nice diagram that can be further edited and "beautified." I want something I can print and hang on the wall as a reference document for developers writing code and SQL.
Thanks,
Craig

SchemaSpy is kind of handy.

However it will probably work with Wine on Linux, I have not tried. BTW as I remember Squirrel SQL has diagramming too. -- Sergey Konoplev a database and software architect http://www.linkedin.com/in/grayhemp Jabber: gray.ru@gmail.com Skype: gray-hemp Phone: +79160686204
