Ability to generate SQL statements directly from diagrams. > 4. Exporting diagrams as an image and or printing is a must. > 5.

Allow easy navigation of the entire database scheme, which > includes finding and navigating to specified table. > 7. Minimal cost. > > > > Solution 1: > DBDesigner4 from fabFORCE.net > (http://www.fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/) > > Fits in-line with all of the above and more.
