Yeah, I installed argouml. Doesn't do what I need it
to. THere looks like an add in for doing db schemas,
but not out of the box.
I wanted to find a full-fledged UMl tool, but my
specific need was to build a db schema with E/R
diagram. None of the tools I've looked at have an
actual db graphic. The best I can hope for is to use a
UML class tool. Or use something like Gimp and draw
boxes and then add lines to seperate out the table
names and fields. It would have been nice to have a
tool to generate the SQL also. There seem to be some
experimental add-ins to dia to do this, but I don't
see any debian packages for it.
