The database schema importer tool is here!

Database diagrams are crucial for creating and maintaining an efficient database. A well-designed database will eliminate redundant data, ensure data integrity, and provide access to the data in useful ways. And with Cacoo’s new Database Schema Importer tool, making and using these diagrams is a snap.
