SchemaSpy 2.1.1 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 2.1.1:

- Updated MySQL's configuration file to point to the latest JDBC drivers. Also gave the URL for the Connector/J drivers.

- Added a more descriptive error message when the correct version of Graphviz dot isn't installed.

- Some people were having problems by passing -cp to java and not to SchemaSpy. The classpath-related error messages now clearly specify where -cp belongs.

- Revamped the classpath-related error messages to include the classpath entries that weren't valid. This should make it easier to track down JDBC driver issues.
