How To Create The ER Diagram For SQL Server Database Objects
Dec 15, 2006
Hi,
I have to prepare an ER diagram for the objects in my SQL Server
database. I have used the option "DIAGRAMS" in EnterPrise Manager of
SQL Server 2000. It is creating the diagram for the selected tables
(but the diagram contains only the table which i have selected. It is
not displaying its depended tables). But i am not able to export it to
any of the flat file like MS WORD or paint. I want this diagram to be
uploaded to one Flat file and send to my customer for his reference.
Could anyone suggest me how to create the ER Diagram for the SQL 2000
database and export it to a flat file.
Thanks for your help in advance.
I've seen threads concerning this problem. I have followed the prescribed steps to fix the problem. I've set the db owner to sa, I've set compatibility to 2005. Still I can't get the diagram to function.
I have created a database with several tables. I want to create a database diagram to show the relationshipbetween the tables. Below are the steps from the SQL Server 2005 documentation on how to create a database diagram. The problem is that when I right click on the Database Diagrams folder I am only given two options. They are:"Working with SQL Server diagrams" and "Refresh"There is no menu choice to create a new database diagram. Can anyone tell me what the problem here is?
To create a new database diagramIn Object Explorer, right-click the Database Diagrams folder or any diagram in that folder. Choose New Database Diagram on the shortcut menu. The Add Table dialog box appears. Select the required tables in the Tables list and click Add. The tables are displayed graphically in the new database diagram.
Hello: I have an old database created in SQL Server 2000, now I can open, access it in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, but I can't create Data Diagrams. Please advise on how to make it work.... Thank you
I've been tasked to create a database diagram, save it and send that db diagram to the user. Now, I am confused as I don't know where sql server stores the db diagram...what is the path where it stores the diagram. How do I export it in case if I need to provide it to the user. How, am I supposed to grant user permission so he himself can create a database diagram.
Is it possible to create diagram from existing database? Need to understand the schema of database which has no documentation. So would like to create diagram for that database.
I am a beginner in learning SQLServer 7.And I learn it by using its own help file. The only problem troubles me is that after I do some options in database diagram,there's nothing happen.And then no matter what I do,database diagram panel is always blank.
MySql has a statement like: SHOW CREATE TABLE tablename;
that returns the precise CREATE TABLE statement for the specified tablename.
Sql Management Studio also allows scripting Create Statement for any object by right-clicking it. But I want to do this programatically, and fetch CREATE statements for Tables, Procedures & Views.
How can I retrive CREATE statements for Database objects progrmatically in Sql Server???
Is there a way to give someone the right to create only views and no other objects in a database? Currently I have given the individual ddladmin database rose, but would rather be more restrictive?
Hi all, I am trying to create a diagram for our database, during the creating, I create some of the relationships which were not there(basically our original database is not relational database, that's why I am doing it) So sometimes I have to chage data type in order to create a relationship for the coloumns in different tables. i.e. change char(16) to varchar(7) (I checked the field that make sure all the data in this field is <= 7 characters)
But when I saved the diagram, there is an error message that state: Errors were encountered during the save process. Some of your database objects are not saved on your diagram.
'agent' table saved successfully 'VisitUSA' table - Unable to create relationship 'FK_VisitUSA_agent'. ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_VisitUSA_agent'. The conflict occurred in database 'CMC', table 'agent', column 'AgentCode'.
What does that mean? is it caused by some of the agentcode data in VisitUSA table which is not in agent table? Thanks! Betty
When trying to create a DB diagram on my local SQL Server 2005 db, I get the following error: cannot insert the value null into column "diagram_id" I have searched the web and can't seem to find anything on this. I just simply drag one table from my local db onto the diagram windows and try to Save it and that's what I get. I'm able to save diagrams on a networked SQL Server. Does anybody know how I can resolve this issue?
I€™m trying to create a DB for my course at Uni and as far as I€™m aware to create a DB on my desktop at home I need to use CE.
So I created a new DB in CE and then created some tables and I now want to create a relationship diagram but there isn€™t an option to do it. In the toolbar the relationship icon is permanently greyed out and unusable and there isn€™t a node in object explorer.
Can this be done and am I just missing something obvious? I€™m running it on Vista and I have installed the latest SP, could that cause any problems?
Im going crazy and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects.
I am the db owner but still wouldnt let me install and create diagrams.

I have a case study requesting to create an ER diagram, with the attributes listed in each entity. The data I have is an Excel Spreadsheet listing:
CustomerName PurchaseDate Destination Airline Flight# departDate DapartTime ArriveTime Hotel CheckIn CheckOut Car Rental Pickup Return
The case is related to travel agency that specializes in booking interesting vacations for people who are single. Note that the travellers have a variety of travel bookings: some may rent a car and drive to the hotel at their destination, others may be staying with friends or relatives at their destination, while others will need flights, hotel and car rentals in their booking.

Would anyone be able to tell me how to save a database and all its objects e.g. Procedures and views etc. onto a CD and then open it on another SQL Server? For SQL Server 7.0 and 2000.
I just upgraded to SQLServer 2005 Standard. I do development in adatabase on one server. When a solution is completely tested, I moveit to the operational database on a different server. With SQLServer2000, I could just open the .adp file and do File->Get ExternalData->Import to move the objects. That does not work with 2005.What is the recommended method for moving objects from one database toanother? Obviously, the objects that changed will not be the sameevery time.Thanks!Jer
passing serialised objects to a stored procedure for the purpose of data inserts. I see this as being a way to handle multiple row inserts efficiently.
However, in my limited use of XML data I am not so sure how to link the data when I have a dependency on another "object" within the serialised XML.
Below is a code snippet showing what I have so far.
The first insert statement works fine - but how to retrieve the identifier created by the DB - I want to use an SQL statement that finds the record in the table based on the XML representation (of the PluginInfo), allowing me to insert the ConfigurationInfo with the correct reference to the PluginInfo
DECLARE @Config NVARCHAR(MAX) DECLARE @Handle AS INT DECLARE @TransactionCount AS INT SELECT @Config = ' <ConfigurationDirectory > <ConfigurationInfo groupKey="Notifications" sectionKey="App.Customization.PluginInfo"
