I am looking for a tiny tool/script/plugin to visualize my Rails schema.rb file so that our project does not have to maintain a separate diagram manually.
Do you have any experiences on that subject?

A:
Check out RailRoad.
It creates diagrams for models and controllers. I bet it will do what you want. It produces DOT files which can be viewed with Graphviz or other programs.
I've had some success with it, but when you have a ton of models, you may need to do some manual rearrangement to get a decent looking diagram.

Accepting your answer. RailRoad looks promising. But how do you rearrange the model drawings? (in my case, it got complicated and messing pretty fast)

I used Omnigraffle, which can read DOT files.
