That's the idea, though dbVisualizer needs a JDBC driver, and I don't
know if there is one for TurboIMage.

I couldn't convince myself that this allowed anything more than
semi-manual operation - you'd have to click on every table in turn in a
given database?

But to answer Craig's question, I'll repeat the extract from the Visio
Professional Help that I quoted when Connie first asked about wireframe
tools:-
==================================================
Review what the Reverse Engineer Wizard extracts
The schema definition information that the wizard can extract depends on
a combination of things, such as the capabilities of the database
management system (DBMS) and ODBC driver. The wizard shows all the
elements it can extract and let you choose which ones you want. For
example you may only be interested in 5 out of 10 tables, and 2 out of 4
views.
While you are running the wizard you can choose to have it automatically
create the drawing in addition to listing the reverse engineered items
in the Tables and Views window. If you decide not to have the drawing
created automatically, you can drag the items from the Tables and Views
window onto your drawing page to manually assemble the database model.
To the extent that they are available from the target DBMS, you can
extract the following:
Tables
Views
Primary keys
Foreign keys
Indexes
Triggers (including code)
Check clauses (including code)
Stored procedures (including code)
===================================================
Though I've never done this myself, and Alan Yeo has shed some doubt on
whether it gives what Connie needs :-(
But I have another idea, which I will get Alan to test, if he doesn't
mind, to see if it has legs...
