I happened to find pgdesigner <http://pgdesigner.sourceforge.net/en/index.html> and will give that a shot, since I'm using postgres for now. I'm using graphviz on the backend of sqlt-diagram <http://sqlfairy.sourceforge.net/>. It generates awesome diagrams, but I don't see a way to use graphviz interactively to design a schema. I totally forgot about Dia! If pgdesigner doesn't work out I'll try that next. I also found this link, which is helpful: http://www.databaseanswers.org/modelling_tools.htm -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-222-9095, http://tempusdictum.com _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
