Hi all!
Do you know a diagram to show the entries of an database? I guess something like the object diagram in UML. I know there is the entity-relationship model but it does not show the existing entries of the database.
A:
Yacoder mentioned ER diagrams. That's a good place to start. ER diagrams are simpler than UML diagrams. I've seen ER diagrams with well over a hundred boxes, and way more lines between boxes. The paper covers an entire wall.
In case you think this is way too complicated, it still easier to understand a hundred tables than a hundred thousand lines of code.
