I would think the incremental cost of adding support (both forward and reverse engineering) for databases such as MySQL would be minimal for Computer Associates and other's who provide robust ERD apps like ERWin.
Perhaps we haven't been vocal enough with mainstream tool companies aboout the need to support open source dbs.

I never seem to use the full $3000++ functionality of Erwin/ER Designer, etc., which don't have MySQL support ... eventually they'll have to add it though. -billb -----Original Message----- From: MikeParton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 2:11 PM To: Bill Bernat; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: er diagramming Somewhere within www.mysql.com is a link to a site that has an ERD tool that supports MySQL...think the name is Dezigner or EasyDezign or something like that. Search through the MySQL site and you'll find it. Free trial version (limited entities) and the full tool isn't very expensive. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Bernat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 3:25 PM Subject: er diagramming ERwin, in which I did the logical data model for a MySQL database, doesn't support MySQL data types or specific MySQL code export. Do any tools? Notepad and vi look like my best physical design tools at this point, which is okay. But I wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything out there -- along the lines of ERwin but with MySQL support.
