DB model design tool?

Hi there,

I am looking for a sharp database design tool.
Take a look ad wikipedias db schema. Looks fantastically neat.

Do you guys know what this tool is called?

Visio has been good to me, but tables dont look look that sharp, doesnt export to sql scripts. mysql benchmark looks great but adding columns doesnt work! Im in a big need of something neat like this!

Thanks,
Tim

The Mediawiki is using DBDesinger which is a free product.

Thanks guys,

DBDesigner is actually an amazing tool. It has sql exports too. I hope there aren't any major bugs; MySQL Workbench looks great but there are a few functional bugs.

Cheers,
Tim
