Database Layout?
 

Hey there,

I was wondering whether any of you uses Omnigraffle to create database layouts?

Best regards,
-Joerg

I have... Once or twice (it's not something I need to do every day and FileMaker/4D have rather decent way to represent database layout for my purposes).

I tried, but it was horrible.

I used the MySQL stencils from [url]http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/extras/[/url]
but they are quite bad.
E.g. I miss a PK/FK support, like Visio has it.

Hope someone will provide a better solution, because I really like OmniGraffle.

Hi there,

any news concerning this subject? Anybody who meanwhile created and posted a stencil for database design?

Thanks for any hints!

*bump*

I'm also looking for the SQL Schema Import extra which seems to have disappeared. Anyone still have it hanging around?

For stencils, try [URL="http://graffletopia.com/"]Graffletopia[/URL]

I'm actually looking for the script that'll turn SQL into an OmniGraffle diagram; anyone still have it handy?

Does anyone have this script?

Thanks in advance

Did anyone manage to track this script down? If so would you mind posting up a URL?

Cheers
Dan

There are scripts that generate Graphviz files (see [URL="http://www.graphviz.org/Resources.php"]here[/URL]). These, in turn, can be imported in OG.
