Reveser Engineering - was: Options to speed up a 7 table join executed frequently.

Yuk! I use Toad Data Modeller for my reverse engineering and while it does a grand job, the diagram for the ERD is usually diabolical - and understandably so. However, I've never had the time or patience to untangle it manually - I usually generate the full report in HTML and omit the ERD.

That way, I can click on links willy nilly to see what's connected to what. It's not perfect, but better than not having any docs at all. (Vendors!)

You have my sincere admiration for your patience in sticking with it for two days!

Cheers,
Norm.
