Hi
Is there any freeware anybody would recommend for showing database
models and how they relate to each other? I’m picking up an app
another developer left in a mess and I’m trying to sort it out.
Diagrams would be a great help.
Suggestions?

I second that - railroad rocks - it’s basically automatic

I had thought Railroad was abandoned and didn’t work with recent
versions of Rails, but I hope I’m wrong – it’s a great tool.
For figuring out DB structure, I recommend SchemaSpy.

It worked for me this morning with 2.3.5
(although I do occasionally have to tweak models to get it to parse
them happily)
Great! Thanks for the info.
Problem though, it only ever outputs files of 0 size. The examples
also show it being run as railroad -options, I have to use rake to
run it, not sure if thats normal. Any help?

What’s the output of:
which railroad
railroad --version
What is the exact command you’re invoking it with, and if that doesn’t
seem to be working, what’s the output in verbose mode?
