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!
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.
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?

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'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.

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

I am working through a book about setting up a database, though i'm doing it slightly differently, using a sql server database on a remote server rather than the local sql server express database shipped with visual studio. everything has been going fine until i've reached a part where they want to add a database diagram to the existing database. they talk about right clicking the database diagram node, and selecting add, but for some reason there is no database diagram node, so i can't do it this way. the book also says using the data>add new>diagram from the menu, but when i do this i either have no diagram option (when i have no table opened) or else the diagram option is greyed out and unselectable (when i have a table opened). any ideas on how i can add a database diagram? dc
Hi there, I just set up my AppData and i'm trying to connect the Membership to a tbl_Profile that i created.I notice there's an application_id and a user_id which are uniqueidentifiers. I've been trying create a relationship to tbl_Profile's user_id column but it won't let me saying it's not compatible. Am i suppose to set tbl_Profile's user_id column to int or uniqueidentifier? I've tried both and it won't let me... THanks!
Hi I need to do UML Data Diagram . I have Database tables available and for my task i need to pull data from those tables ,i need to expres this through UML Data diagram . I never did UML Data Diagram ,Can anyone pls tell me how to do UML Data Diagram? How it wil be?
When using the DTS to copy a db from my local MSSQL to the remote server (connecting via IP address) everything is copied ok except the diagram laying out the relations. The table relations *are* copied because the damn thing works as expected also on the remote server.
I figured out that the diagrams are saved in the sysfile 'dtproperties' but when copying using the DTS query tool from local to remote this table is not visible.
I need to remove some relations on certain tables when bulk loading new data and was just wondering how I got to copy the diagram (as opposed to creating a new diagram on the remote server and adding relations manually).
How do u print the database diagram...basically is there any process that can generate the database diagram from the database which is already existing with the referential integrity...
Can anyone tell me about the storage of Database Diagrams. I want to know where these diagrams are stored in SQL Server? If it is in System table, which table and how to copy these diagrams into another database?
