This is not the answer you are looking for ... but Oracle Designer does exactly this and rules in so many ways I couldn't possibly do it justice in this dial-up restricted email. I don't think it runs on Linux (although Oracle server does). Paul

GraphViz::DBI, by yours truly, does precisely that. It relies, at this time, on a certain table/field naming convention (but is subclassable so you can implement your own convention). In a future version it'll be aware of constraints (for foreign keys and such).

Re: SQL statements to DB Schema (dia ?)
You might want to check out: Arron's Autodia - http://autodia.cuckoo.org/ It's not quite at the stage I think you are after but I've lost track of what it can and can't do. Last I heard they were putting it up to be an candidate in the elections (actually, it's probably more intelligent than one of them!). Though the DB stuff might have been a conversation about GraphViz.. woo.. so many choices :) Leo N.B> NOT starting the election thread again!

Re: SQL statements to DB Schema (dia ?)
I believe Visio will do this with an ODBC link to mysql... But of course it costs...

SQL statements to DB Schema (dia ?)
Dear All This is not perl related, but I hope to tap your collective knowledge. I'm involved with taking on a project started (and nearly finished) by an Agency writen mostly in PHP and Delphi. No statements that I'm already in trouble - thanks. I have no DB schema, and as such could dump the SQL schema (via mysqldump) - and I was wondering if there was a super thing that could translate the create table stuff into a diagram I could print, and then look at If this worked on Linux and involved perl and Dia then it would be fab. Thanks for your time. Greg
