I expect you could probably get MagicUML to do what you want... it's pretty flexible and extendable.
Maybe even Visio would do it :) I expect there must even be an Eclipse plugin out there too. Isn't the point of an ORM framework - and Doctrine - that you model your objects (and their relationships), and generate a database schema from those? So, you don't want a database modelling tool, you want a UML tool that will export to a Doctrine compatible format, correct? There's probably a bunch of tools in Java-land that could be adapted - anything that works with Hibernate, AndroMDA etc There's a list of UML tools here : http://galaxy.andromda.org/docs/case-tools.html Happy hunting - but remember, if you don't find what you want - necessity is the mother of invention :) Lee Bolding w: http://www.leesbian.net -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of awe Sent: 29 January 2008 04:31 To: symfony users Subject: [symfony-users] Re: Visual modeling tools for Doctrine? Thank you for your answer. If you're referring to this Dia: http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/ than it's seemingly a drawing tool and not a visual database modeling tool. A visual modeling tool should (basically) support defining the entities, their contents, their relationships, their constraints and so on in an easy to view and maintain way. PowerDesigner is a nice tool for that although probably too bloated and too pricey (~7,000$ per seat!) for my relatively basic data design needs. I've been checking some open source tools such as Azzurri Clay, DBDesigner4, MySQL Workbench & Power*Architect but haven't found one that is more useful than a burden for my desired Symfony+Doctrine configuration.
