SDT is essential for anyone who needs to support DBFs. I'm also a big fan of xCase, but for different functionality. We use a couple of their diagrams nearly every day, though in MySQL now. It's a little-known feature that xCase will also print reports, too. And it has the ability to pull in database structures, sometimes relations and comments, which can be a real time-saver. xCase also supports all the different database engines you mention, and a grunch more. The big-name ERD packages typically come with a big price, so they're likely out of your budget. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
