Re: Database Modelling Tools

Hi Linda,

I am getting in kind of late on this thread -- I think the original message
made it into my deleted mail, so I hope my response is on topic.

If you are looking for a good ERD diagramming tool, check out Visio. If you
create an ODBC connection to your database in Windows and then create a new
database drawing in Visio, you can select "Database > Reverse Engineer" from
Visio's menu to generate an ERD diagram of an existing database.

Just google "reverse engineer visio database" and I am sure you will find
detailed info on how it's done.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Milan

Does Nav do Entity Relationship Diagrams (i.e. ERDs)? In other words, are
there graphics to create relationships (even manually) between tables, to
create IDEF1X or Crow's feet notation diagrams. If not, can Nav maps be
exported as HTML, Adobe, etc. formats?
