[nfbcs] Database diagrams

[Jude DaShiell]

If sql was wanted sql would have been requested.
Actually excel can be used.
One table on a worksheet so you have six worksheets at the end.
details for each table on each worksheet.
Show relationships by inserting links which when activated take a tester 
to the related table.

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.
