    Can you post a bit more detail as to exactly what you want. Perhaps a diagram and some code of what you have attempted. – Peter Grill Sep 15 '11 at 2:02

    IMHO, TikZ is the way to go for diagrams: See typesetting uml class diagrams for more options. – Peter Grill Sep 15 '11 at 2:28
  • I've decided to write the SQL by hand, and generate a diagram from that using SchemaSpy. Using Doc2TeX I can then embed it neatly into my TeX report. – A T Sep 19 '11 at 11:34
  • But I want people to mark it down if they think it's a bad idea, or mark it up if they think it's a good one – A T Sep 19 '11 at 15:06
  • This seems like the wrong way round. Wouldn't it be easier to write the SQL and then read that to create the diagram? Or have I misunderstood something? – Seamus Sep 20 '11 at 14:07

Run texdoc pst-dbicons then you'll get the documentation of pst-dbicons. But there is no package which can generate the corresponding sql code.
