Okay, I guess I'm not being clear.

<h1>I AM NOT USING ACCESS</h1>

I want to implement the code using php and mySQL, as any sane person was.

This thread is about design work. Nothing else. I don't want do wind up with a chaotically designed database, I want something professional caliber, in third normal form, and that means I have to design it properly, which means including a data dictionary and an Entity Relationship Diagram. Yes, there are many kinds of ERDs--I'm most comfortable with the Chen model, and I want to use the Chen model.

I'm not asking anything at all about what kind of database to use--I'm looking for software used for drawing pictures that represent the database.

EDIT: And I am not yelling. Well, the first bit was, but the rest....fweh.
