Bart,

If we get diagram like looks one in SQL Builder (have you see it)
But with all 60 tables, then this is okay?

Of course I EASY SEE here a lots of ideas how such tool can looks:
    - e.g. Have different names views with different set of tables.
    - collaps/expand tables to only names
    - ..

Having diagram with 60-100 tables at once, what next?
    Print it ?

But it will not fit A4...so how ?
