Handy - I'll look at folding some of those changes into GraphViz::DBI
(I took over maintaining it a while back).

Also thanks Caroline, that looks quite useful.. I didn't think that an
ascii description of schema would be useful and that has changed my
mind - do you mind If I use some of your C:DBI and ASCII fu in Autodia
(which currently generates schema from source code, sql and databases
into XMI, XML, HTML, Dia, Graphviz, Umbrello, etc)
