MySQL Workbench

One of the tools which I like to use to design my database is known as MySQL Workbench. I have used it to design the Entity Relationship Diagram and export the design into PDF or PING image. Once you complete the design, you can generate the physical database which included with the forward engineering capabilities or exporting it to SQL text file. This easy tool also assists you to document the database design into text and html form.

The MySQL Workbench deliver in 2 editions.
The Standard Edition will provide you all the needs which I mentioned above.
If you looking for a simple and free tools for you visualization and design of database, or you want to export your design to PDF, PNG or SQL query, perhaps you may want to try the Community Edition - this might be the one that you looking for.
