#12 Generate/edit ERD diagrams

[Andy Warwick]

There seems to be a big gap on OS X for tools to generate/
work with ERD diagrams.

It would be a great feature, unique AFAIK on OS X, to add
the facility to generate ERD diagrams on the fly to
CocoaMySQL; maybe even go the other way, and generate
mySQL statments from ERDs too.

I see it as another tab, along with Structure, Content, etc.
that allows you to look at the database as an ERD diagram,
with the option to add in relationships, etc.

Something that will look great when printed...

One way to go might be to generate some sort of file
(Applescript?, XML?) that integrates with Omnigraffle for
prinitng and further editing; might even be possible to
approach Omnigroup, get assistance with coding, and get
CocoaMySQL bundled with Omnigraffle?

I know they have just released an extra called Address Book
Chart Builder 1.0, that builds family trees, etc. direct from
Address Book. (<http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/
omnigraffle/extras/>).
