From G.Plivna@itsystems.lv Thu, 26 Jul 2001 05:12:37 -0700 From: G.Plivna@itsystems.lv Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2001 05:12:37 -0700 Subject: Re: ER Diagram of a schema Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain You cannot create ER diagram of a schema, you can create only server(data) model diagram If you want to create this diagram yourself, ie on paper, using some graphic tool like M$Word, Corel or M$Paint then you will need to use at least such data dictionary views like {all/dba/user}_tables {all/dba/user}_tab_columns {all/dba/user}_views {all/dba/user}_constraints To be more seriuos I would like to suggest to use some more or less specialized tools like Oracle Designer Visio Erwin Grade (www.infologistik.com) Oracle Designer and Visio can connect to Oracle and create server model diagram from database. Oracle designer provides such a possibility like table to entity rettrofit which creates ER diagramm. Of course it could be and usually IS different than original one. I don't know about Erwin, but Grade cannot make diagrams from databses. I mentioned it just for info and I think it was rather interesting tool but cannot be in the top today.
