Lovely, but my main problem with these tools is that they're unidirectional and aim to be the central authority. But they're a picture, no the database.
I understand why people uses them, I just don't need a tool like that.
So every tool "exports to SQL" expecting all changes in the database are reflected in the diagram. But the diagram is not the database. So we've got two jobs now.
