Re: Creating a Database Schema

Ah, relationships between tables. I hope whoever designed the database named the columns in a straightforward manner! The simple answer is there likely may not be a hard relationship between the tables at all, except in the designer's head, associated client code, (and hopefully the documents). Foreign keys are relatively new to MySQL so depending on what year the database was designed, you have none. I know I _still_ don't use them because I got used to not having them after ditching Oracle. So a tool that would show you things which just don't exist would be a magical beast indeed!
