[BNM] Online SQL ERD tool

[Alastair James]

Thanks all for the input. It seems like this idea might have some legs.
I am certainly going to look the existing desktop (mostly windows) tools for
features etc.

Leo: Interesting point about naming conventions etc... I guess there is a
larger point that people using rails, cake (etc..) might not use SQL at all.
So export to Rails active record classes / migrations would be useful... So
maybe it could have, instead of target database mysql, target format 'rails'
or 'cake'...
