Hi,

I was sent a .sql file containing a database structure. My task is to create a diagram (ERD) from the sql code. Is there an easy way to do this, instead of starting from scratch? I downloaded a series of programs, but have not had any luck yet. The closest was with the DDT program, I don't think it's the latest version:

The error I'm getting is:
"error importing: 3: parse error at AUTO_INCREMENT"

I'm a bit new to this, but know there isn't an error in the .sql file.

I'm also not connected to a sql server.

So just wondering if there is an easy way to generate ERD's from a .sql file without drawing them out myself.

Thanks.
