Linux ERD software

I don't normally need an ERD, but this latest project I'm on has some
pretty complex database tables, and as I'm working with someone else on
it, I need to plan out exactly how all the tables relate to each other
properly. Do any of you have any suggestions for ERD software that will
run on Linux. It can't be web-based (unless it's something I can run
easily on my own local server) as I won't have access to the Internet
all the time I'm working on this.

Thanks,
Ash

MySQL Workbench, Azzurri Clay.

Yep, Mysql Workbench is pretty darn good

Cool thanks all. I had a look at dia, and it seemed more geared to
electronic diagrams than database ones (although I didn't play with it
for too long).

I just drew them in the end in OOo, but I'm going to take a look at
MySQL Workbench when I get some time, but this project is already in
danger of falling behind schedule :(

Thanks,

Dia is also a superb diagramming software, though I don't think it generates
any SQL for you when it's said and done. There are versions for several
operating systems (including Linux AND Windows).

Dia can be scripted and there is some interesting looking stuff here:



(I never tried)

Hey Ash. When you have a spare several minutes or so, just download
MySQL Workbench. You can just suck in your existing DB and voila! Or
if you don't have one yet it should be fairly quick to mock it up.
