I have a Mysql database for my website which it is not made by me
is there is any way to get the relationship diagram for this Database
I know if you use xampp, you can go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin then click on the database you want then if you click designer near the top right it will have one done for you.
Tools which allow drawing ER Diagrams often can do this reverse-engineering for you - think MS Visio has such a feature, and also Visual Paradigm should do this for you. Also check this link!!

I'm new at SQL Server and I've been looking for an official database modeling tool (if there is one in existence) so that I can design EER Diagram and export it as an actual database.
So far I have only found tutorials on creating a table for a model, similar to this one: http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/getting-started/introduction/creating-a-connection-string; but since my EER contains relationships between models, I need to design the diagram.
Thanks in advance.
forget this my last information. ER Master is nice, but it isnt the answer you want.
Yes, you can do it with MS SQL Server Mangament Studio. Under the root node of datebase exists one entry "Database diagramm". If you will open this. You can choose, which Tabels you want to see in E/R Diagramm view.
Try this,
http://ermaster.sourceforge.net/
its a nice plugin for eclipse.
Hi Friends I have been looking for to build a ER Diagram for my database in Macbook.
Please help me finding a right tool for the same.
I have tried MYSQL Work bench but i need it to be updated dynamically if the DB gets changed.
Also have tried some online stuffs like gliffy.com but of no use.
Please help me I am new to Databases so quick help will be appreciated.
You won't get automatic updates (I understand automatic updates as something that happens in the background without any action from you).
MySQL Workbench however has a two-way sync that you can use to update your models at the same time you update your schema (from the model). You can select to do only one direction, but you have to trigger synchronization yourself.
SchemaCrawler is a free tool that generates diagrams from a database. It is driven from the commandline. You can generate a new diagram quickly, when your database changes, by re-running your command. Here is an example diagram:

Do you know any tools for profiling,to see the structure and relationship of each tables inside the db? it is look like this one :

Any help much more appreciated! :)
MySQL Workbench is what youre looking for
http://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/
You could use the MySQL Workbench, if I remember correctly it has a function, which can do this (reverse engineer database or something similar).
See this SO post.
Have a look at Database Designer for MySQL in dbForge Studio for MySQL.
Database Designer is a powerful visual design tool for database development that allows you to build a clear and effective database structure visually and to see the complete picture representing all the tables, foreign key relations between them, views, and stored routines of your database on database diagrams.
Toad for MySQL has a Database Diagram feature allowing you to create such drawings from existing databases.
SchemaCrawler for MySQL is a free command-line tool that diagrams databases. SchemaCrawler is particularly useful when diagramming large and complex schemas, since it can diagram tables based on the results of regular expression searches of table and column names.

I have so many tables and FK relationships it is hard to keep track and visualze it all. Speard across multiple excel documents. I have it already entered in mysql but I want to output a data model diagram that links tables together along with all the FKs.
How to do it apart from manually having to do it? I am open to 3rd part tools as long as they are free.
Well I am using phpMyAdmin on my local server.
phpMyAdmin 3 has this Designer feature that shows you the linkages between various tables and its columns.
Take a look at the MySQL Workbench.
It's a free tool and offers a few nice features like forward and backward engineering and database synchronisation. I has a few bugs, but its the best tool for MySQL I know so far.
I have mysql database and I want a software which can draw the database design for me?
is there any way to do this?
Thanks
I think you can use MySQL Workbench, it's supposed to have reverse engineering (from database to model).
http://dev.mysql.com/workbench/
Have a look at MySQL Workbench, it's free and next release (currently alpha) will be major step forward (it will replace MySQL Query Browser).
You can do reverse engineering with Visual Architect or Power Designer but you have to pay.
Toad for Mysql also does a pretty good job.
Just to complete the Oskar answer.
Here is the link: MySQL Workbench
And some screenshots:

By the way i don't think the reverse engineering feature is available in the free version..
You can also take a look at those ones:
SQLyog
Navicat
HeidiSQL
You can use SQLyog's Schema Designer tool.
It is very simple and intuitive to use. One can create visual DB design from existing Database in just 3 clicks;
Select Database,
Right Click on canvas to choose tables,
Click on OK (as all tables are selected by default)
It is worth giving a try... Hope it helps...
