i have an older test unix server with mysql 4.1 enterprise edition on it.
i'm looking for a tool that i can use to automatically generate an erd?
preferably free and easy to setup...
i try to install workbench but i didn't have the know how and after checking with my server guys he told me that i can't install the latest version. and i've been googling around and i can't find any older version for workbench as well.
so i was thinking maybe there's some other open source tools hidden out there that i don't know about.
thanks!
Well, Power Architect is one candidate. I have not tried it with MySQL or on Linux but it reckons to support MySQL and it has a generic *nix download. Plus it is FOSS.

I am starting the learning of backend. I get confused when I learn the tools such as dataGrip, PostgreSql, pgAdmin, and mySqlWorkbench. Do I need to download all of them?
Can anyone please give me some clue that what are these tools doing?
No, not at all.
postgreSQL is a database (and a very good one, you should download and use that one).
dataGrip is a paid product from jetbrains, as a tool to connect and run queries on multiple different databases.
pgAdmin is a free tool specific to postgreSQL.
mySQLWorkbench is a tool specific to mySQL.
So, in summary, assuming you chose postgreSQL as the database, you would download that one and pgAdmin. Also consider dBeaver community which is another tool that works with multiple different databases.
postgreSQL cotains a command line tool called psql, that you can use to work with postgreSQL but it is text based and you would want something easier to use. datagrip is good but paid, pgAdmin, dBeaver community edition are good choices.

I have been using MySQL Workbench to manage MySQL DBs. Recently, I had to work with MariaDB, but found that MySQL Workbench is not fully compatible with MariaDB 10. I am currently using MyCli, a linux console tool. It works quite well, but I miss the functionality of MySQL Workbench. I looked at the following page, but most of the tools are either lackluster or not free:
MariaDB Frontends and Clients
Can anyone recommend a better tool which is completely free, runs natively on linux and has good functionality? I am running Linux Mint 18.
So, after taking Rick James' comment into consideration and doing some more research, I have concluded that MyCli is the only viable option to my requirements stated in my question. If however you are using windows and you want to use a GUI tool, I would highly recommend SQLyog.

I am writing a database application in C linux. Currently I work on mysql but later we might migrate to postgres. Therefore my boss has asked my to prepare the application to be able to use either of the databases(mysql or postgres).
Is there a free api which I can use for this purpose? Or any suggestion on how best I can do this?
The official answer to that is ODBC.
If you don't like that (and let's face it, no one really does), Qt has a database access module, QtSql. Obviously, this will require you to make heavy use of Qt in your application.
If you can find drivers for your platform, ODBC was supposedly meant to provide exactly this: a platform-independent way to talk to databases.
(I say supposedly because in my experience, ODBC is such a mess that hooking up to an ODBC driver once turned out to be more difficult than just writing the code three times for three different databases.)

I am in the process of trying to graphically represent all of our server racks. So when we receive a new server we can decide where this should be put and where a specific servers currently resides.
Are there any existing software packages that stores this kind of data already? I'd prefer open source ones if there are any but anything would be helpful.
If you use nagios as monitoring application you could use NagVis to create custom status maps e.g. a rackview of your servers.
Example Screenshot
RackMonkey seems to fit your requirements too.
I had a look around at this and the solutions suggested (thanks Node) and at the moment my feeling are using one of the following:
NVentory though I'm not sure my company will want to use ruby and rails as this would be our first product using this
Rackview
Or more likely just MS Office Visio 2007 Add-in for Rack Server Virtualization however this looks like it only links to excel and hopefully I can use excel to query a database.
I will update when I have played about with these tools and see what they can provide.

Visio 2007 support reverse engineering a MSSQL Database. However, SQL2008 is not supported (link).
Are there other (free?) tools that can do this?
thx.
The SQL Server Management Studio Tool can do it.
Attach the DB
Expand its node
Right click Database Diagrams -> New Database Diagram
N.B: You'll need to be logged in as a dbo and have the database diagramming components installed (Management studio will tell you if not)
DeZign for Databases can import SQL2008 databases (you can use the 2005 driver, that works)
