Subject: Regarding improving layout for ERD

Hi Hackers,

In ERD, the link between tables starts and ends on the exact columns. But
it is actually creating more problems than helping in terms of viewing
the diagram and tracing the links. There is no concrete algo for auto
layouting with precise column links.
I propose we’ll need to change how links connect to tables in ERD. Almost
all tools available for ERD sides of the table for connecting and not
precise columns and we should do the same.
For comparison -

Thoughts/Suggestions?
