Database modeling tools?

Hi all,

So watching this video made me wonder if there are any nice tools out there to model a database? More specifically, is there a tool out there that is either recommended or one that is able to take your table creation code and then to draw a diagram fro you based on your code?

Hiya there! You dont need any tool for databases. Actually most of the databases come with handy tool, its their GUI representation and server. If you have used MySQL/postgreSQL in the past, you'd know how handy the cli is. You just turn on the server and get in your terminal and type your user and password and you're in. When it comes to database , i wont recommend any other tool other than the cli it already comes with. And for SQLite, i simply use this tool. I hope it helped!
