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

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?
Thank you for your help. You got me going in the right direction.
railroad wasn't in my path, duh!
