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?

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.
