[RESOLVED] Database table designer freeware

[ade234uk]

Is there any freeware software available where I can design the tables visually, so I can see where everything goes before I start creating the tables in MySQL?

In that awful thing called Access, If I remember you can view the tables. This is the type of thing I am looking for.

Thank you

Just use pen and paper and draw your own entity-relationship models 🙂

That said, I have successfully used the Dia drawing program for this, but pen (or pencil) and paper is sometimes just better when you are sketching out what things should be.

(I have not used it -- I usually just use a big piece of graph paper, a pencil and an eraser 🙂 -- but it looks like it's had a lot of downloads.)
