Thanks for the reply. Sure, I could do likewise (and often have, for
small stuff) but I find that a good ERD helps explain a data model so
much more quickly than looking at the tables, especially when coming
back to something after a long break from it.
I guess I'll stick with Visio for now, and await the forthcoming MySQL
Workbench (and hope it's better than its earlier incarnation).
