Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] db schema for phpGW

[Brandon]

As this is somewhat of a documentation issue, I have been looking
around for a tool that will allow us to map the database schema
and add comments.  Currently the only thing I've found even close is
Hyperschema on freshmeat, it will create a map, but not allow
comments.
