Can anyone recommend a free (at least as in beer) alternative that creates ERDs automatically from MariaDB?It's just an educated guess but can't doxygen do that?I'll have a look at that.Search results for doxygen include schemaspy as a preferred alternative (at least for someone) - so will try that too.I was hoping for a database... IDE? ... rather than a diagramming tool alone, but one of the above in combination with my current preferred DB admin front end might just do.Thanks,Gareth

OT: mysql-workbench alternative

Given what looks to be the ongoing absence of mysql-workbench in stable:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mysql-workbench

Can anyone recommend a free (at least as in beer) alternative that creates ERDs 
automatically from MariaDB?

I tried installing mysql-workbench-community from mysql.com on Ubuntu 22.04, 
but it wouldn't find MariaDB (which was running) to attempt to connect with, so 
not sure if that's what I really want anyway!

Running under Wine is an option if necessary.  

Thanks,
Gareth
