MYSQL Data Entry Form

[Robert Colbey]

A truly excellent opensource tool,  DBDesigner 4, is available at 
http://www.fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/

It is by far the most sophisticated opensource database tool I have seen.
Not only can you create entity relationship diagrams and then have it 
create the generating SQL, you can reverse-engineer the diagram from a 
database connection. Once it understands the schema, there is a plug-in 
which you can use to create some pretty nice PHP data entry screens.
