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)

Currently we are planning on releasing database changes using DACPAC's for SQL Server. We are planning on building applications for mySQL and we need a way to build releases for code that will get checked into TFS. Is it possible to create a DACPAC and run it against a mySQL database? If DACPAC's won't work, does anyone have a better suggestion? Thanks.
Dacpac files are SQL Server specific and the tools do not support any other RDBMS.

We have a lot of Firebird databases that we want to convert to MySQL. Is there any good tool out there to automate the conversion?
All databases have the same structure, and each FireBird Database should be converted into its own MySQL database.
The tools should at least be able to migrate the data (since we could copy the blank db), but creation of the MySQL db would be a plus.
you can test Database Comparer

I have a MySQL DB and I would like to generate its relational diagram. Is there a tool that can connect to the DB and automatically generate it for me?
Yes, DEVART's DBForge for MySQL will do this.
There is a free Express edition, I'm not sure it has this functionality, but have a look at: http://www.devart.com/dbforge/mysql/studio/
If you are a happy owner of IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Edition, you can use its database tools. IDEA is able to connect to databases and build UML diagrams.

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 using the ODBC connector to access a MySQL db from Visual Studio 2008 and I'm facing performance problems when dealing with crystal reports and to solve this I need a native connector to visual studio. If someone has had a similar problem and knows a solution or tools (freeware preferable), I would be really grateful.
You want Connector/Net
Update: This link should take you to a more recent version:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/5.2.html
Refer the below link: You will get more knowledge:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/MySQLCrystal.aspx
You need add reference to Mysql.Data.dll. Put the dll file in Bin folder and right click - add reference. Its sample.
Connector/Net is the native provider you are looking for. If you're having trouble using it then you should open a new question asking how to get it working with crystal reports. I don't use crystal reports, so I can't help you there myself.
