EER diagram in mysql workbench

720 views Asked by At

I need to make an EER diagram of my database. When I connect my database to MySQL Workbench it puts lines only between two tables with a FK on them. Do I need to manually put in the other lines where I don't have FK's but I connect two tables with a third middle one?

Is this EER diagram a logical (conceptual) database or a physical database? What exactly is a logical database? A logical database is a blueprint of the database. But how do I describe tables?

In MySQL Workbench you can create a logical diagram. It is misnamed in MySQL Workbench as an "EER diagram" as far as I know. A logical diagram such as in MySQL can be created on the basis of an EER diagram.

An example of an EER diagram from Wiki is:
