Hello all

I am describing a 1200 table relational database (Oracle).

I make Visio diagrams to visualise the relation between tables (subdivided
in sets of ± 8 - 10 tables). Making these drawings is very time
consuming:
- I have to look op the information about the relations in the database (I
doe this with Toad)
- and then I draw boxes (representing the tables) and connectors
(representing the relations).

I am looking for a tool that would make this task easiers and less
labour-intensive. I know of database management tools but these are meant
for database administrator or developers - they help you create and manage
relations between tables, but not to visualise them.

Can anyone give me some advice?

Thanks a lot !!

I have seen a tool called DbVisualizer by Innovative-IT
(http://www.ideit.com). It is a Java application, and I do not know
what other databases is uses. We have used it on a SQL db, so it
might be compatible with what you are doing. Don't expect it to be
cheap, as it appears to be a database management tool.
