It would be great if we could have the latest db schema chart. I think the last time we had a schema chart was in 2.16.11. We dont need it if there is no change. But then can someone confirm that it is the same.

Thank you,
Raghu

That's not correct: see http://www.bugzilla.org/developers/ - Database Schema Documentation

Fun. Quite surprisingly there were some changes :-)

But the bottom line is true: DB Schema Chart is missing for Bugzilla 3.2rc1 .

We removed it intentionally in Bugzilla 2.18 6 years ago, see bug 173484. Rather than updating the chart everytime we change something, there is a great website which is much more efficient to present you the DB schema:

http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/p4dti/tool/cgi/bugzilla-schema/

Also, the DB schema evolved so much since 2001 (when the chart was last updated) that the chart would be unreadable.

Thank you for the info.

LpSolit,  although comment 2 is correct, the DB Schema for Bugzilla 3.2rc1 is still missing on http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/p4dti/tool/cgi/bugzilla-schema/ .

So I would reopen this bug (and change the summary)
