I'm working on a project at the moment that requires quite a complex database. I think its good practice to completely finish the database design before starting on the coding. Are there any good tools around for the database design?

Since it's all web-based and my current hosting plan comes with MySQL I guess thats what I'll have to use

Then you should use phpMyAdmin. It is a great tool

I'm already using phpMyAdmin for my db administration, what I'm looking for is a tool to create a database design with visual database maps where you can see how the different tables relate to each other.

Oh. For this work I use a very tradditional tool, a pencil and a piece of paper Smiley

But I suppose that you need something more complex than that.

Try to search for a UML tool like rational rose. It is used for other things, but it will help you with the task you want to.

I normaly use pencil and paper for this, but I now have to create a very big and complex database which will need a different tool (hmm maybe I have to get one of these really big pencils Visit through proxy...  Grin)
Is there anything like rational rose but free?

Wow that's a really big pencil Smiley

There are some free UML programs listed here Visit through proxy but I can't tell which is the best as I have never used any of them.
