I m a database programmer, but I have never used data flow/diagram program. I would like to explain some Data Diagram to a client. Question - what is a program that will allow me to easily create a diagram to explain some data tables and process (windows)?

Answer 1

Well, Visio is the most omnipresent, and it does a fair job.

I personally prefer Enterprise Architect or Visual Paradigm for UML for my diagrams. I find Visual Paradigm more user-friendly in terms of building the diagrams, but EA better for the actual presentation of the diagrams.

Answer 2

I have used dia successfully and it does the job! :)

Answer 3

I would recommend draw.io.

It is a free, online Diagram/UML tool provider and it does the job very well.

No download required.

How to use it? Just go on the website using any Webrowser (Firefox, Safari, Chrome, IE)and start drawing your diagram.

Want to save your diagram ? Once you re happy with your diagram, you can save it on your machine or on any cloud provider(Google Drive, DropBox, OneDrive).

Want to change something on a saved diagram? Just import it from your machine, your cloud provider or a URL and start your modifications.

Want to export it as png? pdf? xml? whatever? you can do that too in a sec.

Answer 4

Microsoft Visio, if you have it (or can get it). If not, some alternatives I ve worked with are dia, Yed, and InSight.

Answer 5

If the diagram isn t too complicated or if the tiny details don t matter that much you could also use a whiteboard, imho that always works pretty good, especially if your face to face and you can walk them through the datamodel.

Answer 6

There are also some online options to do diagramming, http://creately.com/ for instance.
