What is SchemaSpy?
SchemaSpy is a Java-based tool (requires Java 5 or higher) that analyzes the metadata of a schema in a database and generates a visual representation of it in a browser-displayable format. It lets you click through the hierarchy of database tables via child and parent table relationships as represented by both HTML links and entity-relationship diagrams. It's also designed to help resolve the obtuse errors that a database sometimes gives related to failures due to constraints.
Comments and Reviews
It is an absolute pain to get it to work the first time. More clear documentation would benefit this project enormously.
Once you get it working, however it's an enormously valuable tool. It hasn't been updated in years, yet it's still the best thing I've found. Someone really needs to take this source code and create a user friendly version of it!
It appears that someone has finally resurrected this project!!! The new website appears to be http://schemaspy.org/ And there's documentation!!! I'm about to see if the documentation is worth anything . . .
