i want tool for to generate DB diagram below, i need to generate particular db tables structure like below,
how can i do that?...is there any free tool or application is available for that. i already tried navicat8lite_ora_en and HeidiSQL. but i can't make it work.
Yes you can generate ERD with PHPMyAdmin. PHPMyadmin added this functionality from version 3.4
detail step to generate ERD: http://sforsuresh.in/generating-erd-using-phpmyadmin/
You can refer to PHPMyAdmin documentation for more info: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/#pmadb
MySQL Workbench will reverse engineer and engineer scripts for you. Output will be similar to what you have above, but not identical.
Try Vertabelo. It's an online database modeler working under Chrome. It is:
free to use,
OS independent,
allows versioning,
supports model validation,
generates SQL scripts for particular database:
allows sharing your DB model with other members of your team,
allows reverse engineering - so you can easily migrate your database to Vertabelo,
suports following databases:
PostgreSQL,
MySQL,
Oracle,
IBM DB2,
HSQLDB,
MS SQL Server.

I am currently working on a project in ASP.Net Core which will have a large number of user in the future. Also, the application is being made through Agile Process, so that I have to be prepared for many changes and up-gradations in the future.
First, I was planning to use a MS SQL Server Database but recently I have seen that how awesome features MongoDb is providing especially for a developer. But, I have a confusion that using I MongoDb database will slow down my application when it become widely used by the people.
So, I am here to get some suggestions on choosing the database for my application.
MongoDB is one of the most popular document stores available both as a fully managed cloud service and for deployment on the self-managed infrastructure but it is Document store DB and SQL Server is Relational DBMS.
Performance highly depends on your requirement and design.

Is there a database diagramming tool for SQL Server 2012 that does not affect the underlying database structure? I have a collection of tables that currently don't have any relationships defined. I would like to diagram the database tables to demonstrate where we should setup some relationships.
I was starting to use the diagramming tool in SSMS 2012, however from what I understand the underlying database will be changed as I add relationships and/or change table structures. I am just looking for a solution to diagram out possible changes rather than implement them.
Also, I am looking to avoid having to type in all the column names since the tables can contain a large number of columns.
You can right click on you DB the choose Generate Scripts
Then click Next until you have the option to choose Advanced
Click on Advanced, choose what you want to include in your scripts and Finish the process.
Then just run the script generated to create a new exact same DB where you will use the designer.
Visio (prior to Visio 2013) can be used to diagram database tables. Check out the Reverse Engineer option. The instructions here should help with creating the diagram. The changes you make can be saved locally without affecting the database.

does anybody know of a tool that will allow for viewing of database schemas and the data within it? Im using a Mac and need to view a mySQL database. Basically something like phpmyadmin that runs as more of a stand-alone app and can connect to any mySQL db.
I have found Aqua Data Studio but it is too expensive.
Thanks for any suggestions
The best stand-alone graphical Windows mySQL client is HeidiSQL. There is a Java version in the late Alpha stage that runs on OS X and is, if probably not usable yet, definitely worth keeping an eye on: jHeidi
Database Workbench have free lite version
I like Squirrel-SQL (free open source) and DB Visualizer (has a free closed-source version).
You can give MySQL Workbench ( http://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/ ) a try ...

I have a MSSQL2005 DB with about 140 tables. I want to create either an accessible diagram or a printable API type document with the table structure. Is there a program that offers this kind of db visualization?
I find the diagramming built into SQL Server to be very clunky and very inaccessible for my DB size.
Take a look at SQL Doc.
I always used Visio for this type of thing.
I like Toad Data Modeler for this. It reverse-engineers Microsoft SQL Server databases (and other brands of databases too), but more than that, you can start making your modeling changes inside the tool and it'll generate change scripts.
If you use somebody else's tool, make sure that you can round trip changes - meaning, if you put all the time and effort into getting your documentation right, and then you change the database inside SQL, can you re-import your changes from the database without overwriting your work in the documentation tool? Most of 'em don't do that, but Toad Data Modeler does.
(Disclaimer - I work for Quest. I used this program before Quest bought it, though, and always loved it.)

I would like to make the update of the web application as automated as possible.
I'm looking for a tool that can compare two instances of a database and generate an update script for me. As part of the build process create a instance of the last version of the database (ie currently in production) and compare that to what has been changed on the development version.
Any input is appreciated.
I like SqlDbDiff. Way cheaper than RedGate's SQL Compare
I answered the same question here.
Best of luck! As you will see, I like the Red-Gate tools.
See
Mechanisms for tracking DB schema changes
I believe the profluence of this question on SO speaks to the lack of a standard solution to this problem.
The great divide in approach is
- write delta scripts
- automate script generation from a "master" instance
It sounds like you want something in the latter camp.
Several such solutions and tools are noted in the above question.
so far, satisfied with RedGate. We use SQL version control + SQL Compare.
I've integrated it with Msbuild and Hudson. So that give us a complete continuous integration solution.
Here are couple more to add to the list:
ApexSQL Diff (schema compare) and ApexSQL Data Diff (data compare)
