No I havn’t tried ModelRight, but I have just downloaded it and I will have a look at how it compares to Workbench. From the looks of things it has similar functionality to Workbench though. Thanks for letting me know about it , I will be sure to report back!

Have you tried ModelRight (the free community edition?) – http://www.modelright.com. It is easily the best MySQL freeware (or not) you can find. Easy to use, lots of features, stable, fast… a pleasure to use. Just excellent.

Cool! Thanks for the feedback Mike – really useful. It seems that Workbench does exactly what I wanted after all. Great software!

Hey Stephen, MySQL Workbench shows connections for all foreign keys you have in your schema and should display them automatically when you import your SQL. However, keep in mind, FKs are only supported for certain engine types, so make sure you have the right engine set.
