The problem with this approach is that SQL Tables do NOT translate directly to ER. In some cases yes, but the ER is not necessarily the DB Schema and visa versa. Total relationships are not there in the schema but are in the ER for example. The same with aggregates and so forth. As to doing ER, you can use Dia <http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/> which will also do UML. Now, it shouldn't be hard to go from your SQL script file to a UML type diagram (ala Absess and Oracle) but I'm not aware of utils that do that either. -- .''`. Carl B.
