1. Database Diagram Drawing Tools ?

   database@gurubase.com — 2000-07-29T07:15:11Z

   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

   We paid $$$ for visio pro. It can automatically detect table
   relationships and show joins. But we were never able to find a way to
   show which attributes the joins were based on. In the end we found dia
   to handle the task easily. And for no $$$.
   
   I second the recommendation.

   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

   I used classes and associations in UML. Worked for me.
