What Linux program can I use for database designing?

Hey, a classmate and I are working on a project together, and we were planning the database. My friend used DBDesigner (http://fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/) which is available for Linux but not too pretty, running with wine is supposed to be better but it still has a few flaws. So now I was looking for an alternative program for Linux (preferable GTK) that we could use. Thanks in advance.

Dia diagrams do the trick. it is usually included in your Linux distribution.

Reply:Well... I guess the key question here is what database are you using? There are a LOT of databases that run on Linux, and it's hard to make a recommendation about what management tool to use without knowing what database you're actually using.





I'll just poke in the dark here though:





MySQL


- The MySQL Server administrator is an awesome tool that is multi-platform. You can read more about it here:

I use this on windows and linux. I also use phpMyAdmin.





PostgreSQL


- PG Admin is the GTK tool of choice:

I generally use phpPgAdmin however - so that I can access my databases from anywhere.





If you're open to a java-based database administrator - I'd recommend Aqua Data Studio:

Being Java-based, it runs on any OS that has a JRE and you can connect to just about any database with it - Oracle, MS SQL Server, etc. I've primarily used it to connect to MS SQL Server databases from my Linux machine.





Hope this helps!
Reply:I'll be honest, I have not found anything that is all that great that runs on Linux. I do db design for a living and the tools just aren't there yet. I too have used dbdesigner and without much luck. Sorry.
