MySQL entity relationship diagram


Hi EE,

I have a MySQL 5 database that I am accessing using MySQL workbench 5.2.  I want to delete a record but I don't know the relationships between the tables.  Is there a way I can reverse engineer the database using workbench to get an entity relationship diagram?

Thanks, Runnuger

Hi Angelll,

The database has been implemented with foreign keys but I am having issues determining how the tables are related to one another.  So if the relationships are intact then a cascade delete with occur when I remove a record from one table?  Have you ever used workbench to produce an ERD?

Thanks, Runnuger
