PHPMyAdmin does exactly this sort of thing, as do a lot of SQL workbench programs. I'm sure there is one out there that will handle PostgreSQL. My advice to you is not to reinvent the wheel. If they're admin users, do you really need to wrap it up in a self-contained webpage for them, or could you just show them using an administrative tool that can handle ERD? -- // Todd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
