I have DatabaseSpy 2008 Release 2 and want to know if there is an option to reverse enginner a database design from an existing database.
I want the tool to be able to accept a connect, scan the existing database for tables, fields, and relationships and drop them onto a design surface so I dont have to create everything from scratch.
I scanned the included help file and didnt see anything about reverse engineering.
Thanks very much!

Two ways that I know of:
1. Select one or more tables from the browser, right click and press "add to design" or something like that. It will draw the tables, including any relations.
2. Drop one or more tables on the design surface and go to the Design menu and choose "Add relations".
