UML Chart
UML Chart shows relations between tables.
Choose between three types of relations, by Table definitions, by Foreign keys or by Application analysis.
Table definitions searches for tables with same column names, attributes and pictures and shows a relation between them.
Foreign keys shows relations based on defined foreign keys.
Magic analysis analyses application and looks for relations in Link Locate and Main Table Locate expressions.
