ER Design Tool

Hey there

I usually start to write the SQL-queries for tables and their relations in notepad. But for documentation-reasons, I'd like to have at the end a graphical view of the whole model.

What tools do you use? In my case, it should be able to interpret the DDL-File (MySql). Are there some good open-source tools for windows?

Although it is the basis of the MySQL Workbench modeling tool , I still use DBDesigner4 since it is not restricted so much. You can still find it here:

architect is nice (and open source) the only defect (or advantage,depending on) is that use java, but don't weigh too much.


My 2 cents.
