Hi Michael, It is possible to write your own scripts for connecting to databases by using the built in Python interpreter. I wrote a small tool that let's you connect to a Postgres database and render the tables as UML in Dia. It's not perfect and I haven't had much time to work on it since, but you can find it here if you think it might be useful: https://github.com/chebizarro/postdia
A more polished version can be found here: https://github.com/brunetton/DiaSqlImportPlugin It wouldn't be difficult to modify it to work with just about any database that Python supports. I hope this helps, Cheers Chris D 2015-12-28 13:39 GMT-08:00 Michael Lam <michael.m...@gmail.com>: > I love your tool and have been using it for data modeling.
