G'Day Wolfgang,

 

Please search the Dia List archive. There are many references to the many projects that convert Dia diagrams into SQL, and vice versa. They aren't plugins though. A quick search brings up the following:

 

Tedia2sql http://tedia2sql.tigris.org/

dia2sql http://enux.pl/smp/dia2sql/

autodia http://www.aarontrevena.co.uk/opensource/autodia/index.html

SQL:Translator

Parse::Dia::SQL

ER2SQL http://er2sql.sourceforge.net/

Dia2Code http://sourceforge.net/projects/dia2code/

 

Or you could use your favourite search engine to look for "dia to sql" - it brings up lots!!!

 

Regards,

Rob.

Subject: SQL support

Hi guys! 

I'm a developer in a rather small software company and 
I'm using dia to draw my database diagrams. A pretty nice option for me would be 
that I can generate some basic SQL code out of my diagrams (and maybe vice versa 
too). So, I searched for some plugins but found nothing. It seems that DIA isn't 
the favorite tool for code generation. :) 

Anyway, if I would extend DIA (lets say through a plugin or something 
similar) where should I begin? Is that even possible to extend DIA that way? Are 
there any efforts to implement these feature? Am I one the complete wrong train 
and should I use some other tool? 

Cheers, 
Wolfgang
