HelloWorld Posts: 88	Posted 08:32 Jul 03, 2009 \| Hi Dr. Sun, The problem with MySQL Workbench is that we cannot actually just create "Many-to-Many" relationship between two entity set without creating additional table which itself become the relationship table that connects the 2 table (which is one of the rule when we convert it to the table). I just downloaded Visio 2007, and it also doesn't have a relationship of "Many-to-Many" just to connect between 2 entity sets.. So I guess the easiest way is just going with Power Point right?
