I find the big boxes-and-lines data models to be helpful when viewing a schema as large as the one used by ACS. Is one available anywhere?

If not, I'll volunteer to work on putting one together (using Sybase's PowerDesigner product). It reverse engineers fairly well, and there's a freely available viewer for the resultant models (at least there used to be -- I'll check).

There's no such thing available right now primary because ArsDigita tries to maintain things simple and viewable from Emacs.

With OpenACS you can use pgaccess (PostgreSQL's graphical tool) to view a graphical schema.

Can't this PowerDesginer output a regular graphical file such as PostScript or jpg ?
