Just to clarify, absolutely, yes. tedia2sql does support MySQL now. It's
one of the more recent additions to the tool.

And further, yes, use the UML shapes. But before you begin, I suggest
perusing the tedia2sql documentation to be sure you're using the right
UML shapes & attributes: http://tedia2sql.tigris.org/usingtedia2sql.html

If you're curious about using Dia to generate SQL DDL for any platform,
check the tool out.
