Re: Database Modelling Tools

["Milan Zdimal" <milanz@xxxxxxxxx>]

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
