Open source ER diagramming tool for mysql

Question

I want to reverse engineer (import into diagram form) the database definition dump of a database I have, then since no foreign keys are defined in this particular database,

Answer 1

I am using Mysql Workbench 6.1. By default the diagram will look crunched for large number of tables, making it difficult to figure out relationship between tables. Many tables will overlay on other tables. This is because, the default layout size is small.

In the menu, Go to Model >> "Diagram properties and size".

Change width and size to some thing big (for example width 23 and height 5) -

Then in the menu, Go to Arrange >> Autolayout.

Now we should see a clean diagram with all the relations. Now we can re-adjust width and height, more meaningfully
