  • I use Visio for Enterprise Architects for this. It has a fairly good reverse engineering function allowing you to connect to the database and extract all the SQL object metadata. You can then assemble the ERD in Visio by creating a consolidated view or mutiple pages each concentraing on a set of tables.

  • Even bog standard Visio Professional will reverse engineer. It is the enterprise architect edition that forward engineers.

    You could look at Sparx Data Architect as a possible tool or Erwin.

  • Hi, well there is another tool called ER/Studio from Embarcadero Technologies, and is the most complete and easy to use, among the previus mentioned tools.
