While it's somewhat language/framework specific, I can really only speak to what I know: If you're using Django (the Python web-framework[1]), you define database models in Python code which is pretty easy to read. You can then use the GraphModels extension[2] which will make GraphViz output files. Those can be churned through the GraphViz program to make a variety of outputs (SVG, PNG, GIF, etc). A little digging around suggests you might also try SchemaSpy[3] which is a Java program that can be run on the command-line, attaching to a DB, extracting metadata, and building a .dot file that GraphViz can turn into your favorite visual outputs. Hope that gets you a couple options. -tim [1] http://djangoproject.com/ [2] http://code.google.com/p/django-command-extensions/wiki/GraphModels [3] http://schemaspy.sourceforge.net/ _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
