Re: For Windows platform: which Dia plugin or App to simplify design and documentation of small Database Applications ?

[Steffen Macke <dia diagramr biz>]

Hi Paul,

there's a tutorial for "database design with Dia":

http://left.subtree.org/2007/12/05/database-design-with-dia/

As you're "Windows only" and not familar with perl scripts,
you may prefer the compiled version of the PERL tool parsediasql.
It's available from

http://dia-installer.de/parse-dia-sql/

It's still a commandline tool, just replace all "tedia2sql" occurrences
in the tutorial with "parsediasql". You can open the commandline prompt
with parsediasql in the path from the Start Menu.

Is this what you're looking for?

Regards,

Steffen
