Thread: Database Diagram Drawing Tools ?
Dear all, I need drawing tools to show the table relationship. I have used pgaccess but it seems that the effect is not very good. Are there any recommendations? Best regards, Boris

It can automatically detect table relationships and show joins. But we were never able to find a way to show which attributes the joins were based on. In the end we found dia to handle the task easily. And for no $$$. I second the recommendation. -- Karl DeBisschop kdebisschop@alert.infoplease.com Family Education Network/Information Please http://www.infoplease.com Netsaint Plugin Developer kdebisschop@users.sourceforge.net
Hi all, I have downloaded the dia 0.80 for Redhat. But it has only diagrams for flowchart, network, sybase uml and circuit. I would like to use it to show the table fields and the relationship. How can I do it? Many thanks!!! Best regards, Boris Quoting Karl DeBisschop <kdebisschop@h00a0cc3b7988.ne.mediaone.net>: > "Robert B.
