I wanted to do some documentation for Rriki which involved drawing database tables and how table rows are related to each other. I looked around and tried dia and MySQL workbench. Dia is able to export to SVG and it can draw connectors between blocks so that when you move the blocks the connectors move. However the SVG export is not correctly interpreted by Inkscape. The blocks are drawn correctly, the labels on the blocks are offset from their desired positions, and the label of the last drawn block is missing.
MySQL workbench can grab table definitions from a sql dump, and you can draw relations between tables, but the drawing is very clumsy, and the display flickers continuously.
I went back to good old Inkscape for my diagram.
