SchemaSpy 2.1.0 released

SchemaSpy analyzes schema metadata, letting you click through the hierarchy of your tables' parent/child relationships either graphically or through HTML tables. It works with just about any RDBMS given an appropriate JDBC driver. SchemaSpy also identifies several common schema anomalies.

SchemaSpy is available at http://schemaspy.sourceforge.net/ and currently supports Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, HSQLDB and Sybase.

You can browse a sample of its output at http://schemaspy.sourceforge.net/sample/

Highlights of Release 2.1.0:

- SchemaSpy can now analyze all of the schemas of a database with one command (-all). This feature should allow a DBA to do a bulk analysis, documenting every user schema with one command.

- Luke Hutteman found a threading issue while reviewing portions of the code. Thanks Luke!

- The layout of the tab area is now significantly cleaner.

- Added -rankdirbug option to deal with the dot bugs that invariably result from using a non-standard rankdir in .dot files. This option should not be used unless absolutely necessary as the resultant graphs won't flow as intended.

- Refactored many of the 'formatters' to become 'pages'.

- Resolution of bug #1351460 - Tab background color mis-named.

- Resolution of bug #1351488 - Relationships tab displayed when no relationships exist

- Resolution of bug #1350392 - NullPointer if FK table not in analyzed schema

- Was missing the border along the top edge of the page.
