[ensembl-dev] DB Schemas

Hi,

Is there a way of visualising the schema for a particular DB? I dumped 
the latest Human Variation database (excluding data) and imported into 
MySQL Workbench only to find that there are no foreign keys so it's 
really quite difficult to understand the links between the various 
tables. I appreciate there is a performance overhead for foreign key 
constraints so I wasn't overly surprised but would really appreciate 
some overview of the DB structure.

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

Stuart
