Automate ER Diagram Generation for Oracle

KeepTool’s ER Diagrammer (part of the Enterprise edition) lets you automatically generate a clean, well-organized Entity-Relationship diagram from your Oracle database — instantly.
This tool is ideal for:

  • Data modeling

  • Understanding legacy schemas

  • Documenting database structure

Flexible Subset Diagrams & Focus Views

Instead of forcing you to generate a huge all-tables diagram, the updated ER Diagrammer now supports subset / focus diagrams:

  • Start from a central table, and automatically include its related master, detail, and sub-detail tables

  • Create multiple, more manageable views rather than a massive “super-diagram”

  • Work from clear, focused portions of your schema for better clarity and performance

This makes exploring and documenting large schema structures much more manageable.


HTML Documentation Integration

One of the neat enhancements: you can now generate HTML documentation for the tables currently shown in your ER diagram.

How it works:

  • Click the DB-Doc button

  • KeepTool passes all table names in the diagram as a filter to the DB-Doc tool

  • You get a matching HTML description of those tables, ready to paste into your technical documentation

  • The diagram and verbal table descriptions stay in sync

Why This Matters

  • Big schemas become digestible via subset diagrams

  • You can immediately document exactly what you show, not the entire schema

  • Developers, DBAs, and system analysts get powerful tools to explore, document, and understand databases

  • The tool reflects real customer needs — enhancements were driven by user feedback

ER diagram creation becomes almost effortless with KeepTool’s ER Diagrammer — just analyze and let the tool do the layout work.
