Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is a round-tripping tool for “Database ER
Digram”
<=> “Rails Migrations Files” available? That is to:

  1. Visually plan your database (UML ER diagram) => export Rails
    Migrations
    Files &

  2. Ability to modify Rails Migration Files and then => read these files
    and
    produce a visual Database UML ER digram

Thanks
Greg

This isn’t what you’re specifically looking for, but it’s an article
about how to generate E-R diagrams from your Models using OmniGraffle
(awesome Mac-only charting app).

Sorry I don’t have a solution, just a pointer, but it’s a pointer
nonetheless. :slight_smile:

I can’t seem to see your pointer – could you please post it (again)?

Thanks and regards,

Here’s an E-R diagramming tool that can output Rails migrations (Mac
only):

Here’s a beta of a slick online one that’s all web2.0 and ajaxy:
