toplay Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I highly recommend that you spring for the $47 USD price tag of SQLyog Enterprise edition which now has a basic DB design/schema feature included. It's got tons of features in general. I was using phpmyadmin but SQLyog makes phpmyadmin seem like a toy program compared to it. http://www.webyog.com/en/screenshots_sqlyog.php Freeware: DBDesigner 4 is great but it doesn't seem to have been updated in a long time and I think it still doesn't support MySQL v5+ yet: http://www.fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/ ArgoUML is an open source UML modeling tool written in Java. You'll need to download and install the DB modeling tool. I don't particularly like this myself. http://argouml.tigris.org http://argouml-db.tigris.org Also have SQL support: http://argouml-sql.tigris.org Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/76065-solved-freeware-database-design-software/#findComment-385108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
severndigital Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Nice .. thanks. $50 isn't that bad, plus it has a trial. I'll give it a shot .. I just hate to pay $500 for software I will only use 10% of. Visio is great, but i don't need all the bells and whistles. Thanks again. chris Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/76065-solved-freeware-database-design-software/#findComment-385116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
