DESCRIPTION
This script will create a picture of your schema. Only the database driver argument (for SQL::Translator) is required. If no output file name is given, then image will be printed to STDOUT, so you should redirect the output into a file.The default action is to assume the presence of foreign key relationships defined via ``REFERENCES'' or ``FOREIGN KEY'' constraints on the tables. If you are parsing the schema of a file that does not have these, you will find the natural join options helpful. With natural joins, like-named fields will be considered foreign keys. This can prove too permissive, however, as you probably don't want a field called ``name'' to be considered a foreign key, so you could include it in the ``skip'' option, and all fields called ``name'' will be excluded from natural joins. A more efficient method, however, might be to simply deduce the foreign keys from primary keys to other fields named the same in other tables. Use the ``natural-join-pk'' option to achieve this.
