Hi, I'm going to develope a big project and I need some useful tool, I'll work with a quite big database and I need a tool wich I can design tables relations etc.. Do you know any good software? Thanks.. bye!

It will depend somewhat on the database type. There are different tools for different databases. It also depends on your price range.

Uhmmm... I forgot to say that I'm looking for a free software. I'll work in mysql, my project will be php/mysql.

There's a module in XAMPP for managing MySQL databases. PHPAdmin, I think.

phpMyAdmin is for example in xampp and most other control panels.
I mainly use HeidiSQL for my database issues.
something for building relations etc, I don't have. But I guess you could use an UML tool as StarUML to make relation sketches, although, it has no connection to the sql.

Edit: I just looked around, and found that MySQL themselves has something they call MySQL Workbench which can let you create what you want. find it here: MySQL :: MySQL Workbench 5.1

I think I expressed myself badly, I already know phpmyadmin because I've already used it and I'm now using it... I believe that StarUML is what I was searching... Thanks at all..

I so love HeidiSQL, I use that for Work & Home.

I have used the workbench included with MySQL and have found it to be very full featured. Worth checking into.

I haven't played with StarUML yet... how do you like it?

[Orjan]

I think it's ok for it's purpose, so if you are a RUP (Rational Unified Process) user, then it seems to be a great tool. we actually uses it at our University in our assignments and other stuff during system development courses
