[nfbcs] Database diagrams

[Vincenzo Rubano]

Sure, but you can get a level of abstraction if you want to. It depends really on how you structure your notation and what you need it for.

"Text-based notation" - might as well write the SQL.

While PlantUML does not support ER diagrams specifically, class diagrams can get you very close to them. However, if you don’t absolutely require a graphical representation, I would suggest representing the database design with a text-based notation.

There are some LaTeX packages that might be useful as well, but I guess you’ll need some sighted assistance in making the result acceptable for sighted users.

I need to design a database. Are there any quick reliable methods of doing this? So far, I have used plant uml. However, it is slow and somewhat problematic because it renders itself useless for database design. If there is something different, I will consider using it since there is no longer time to experiment with preprocessing, and a simple 6 table database shouldn't have to take 1 week of design work to finish.
