Thank goodness, now I'll never have to draw another database again :-)

Are these projects you're thinking of working on open source?  That is
definitely one thing I've noticed in the few open source projects I've
looked into; the documentation can be rather poor (mainly on projects
where they are still in 'alpha'.)  I could definitely see this tool
being useful for me.  Even if only to keep track of old databases I've
made and forgot how they worked.

Thanks,
