Hi. Such a toll cannot be bundled with Cake itself because Cake can use different DataSources<http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/datasources.html> .
The best tool I've used (for MySQL) is *MySQL Workbench*. It does design and forward/reverse engineering for MySQL only, but for "schema visualization" it will do the trick for all. I've incorporated this wonderful piece of software in my dev process and I can freely say that there are many benefits, some being: - An always up to date model of the database - All changes to the DB are made from MySQL Workbench - Versioning for DB changes - Real easiness for "Database Forward/Reverse Engineering" - Generation of SQL divs - ... Of course all of its features would work only on MySQL (and its forks maybe like MariaDB <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MariaDB>), but if you would only like to visualize then it will do wonders for you. You can also check out Dia - the open source diagram editor, with which you can create graphs, but you wouldn't have any of the other features, as it is not solely a DB design tool. Try Workbench out. Cheers, Borislav.
