Hello everyone,

As I'm working on a new PHP application I'm in need of really good DB-designing tool, something like DIA.
I find DIA it self a little poor when it comes to drawing tables and displaying the tables information.
When I googled for a better application I got a lot of hits and to be honest I'm too lazy to try them all. So my question is. which aplication do you use and why?

Thx in advance

Mark

you just want to visulize the design, not designing the database itself (as win tools like DeZign do it), is that what you mean?

however: have a look at this
http://www.marcelgagne.com/node/166

for database design tools (for designing the database itself)

for visulisation i have to say that dia is actually the best program i came across, but there might be better progs somewhere.

Thanks for the link.

I'm sorry that I wasn't quite clear on this but was looking for a tool to visualize the layout of a database.
In the mean while I looked for such a tool but I'm comming back to Dia everytime again.
So I stoped searching and I'm working with Dia now.

Greetings,

Mark
