Database diagrams are visual blueprints of your database schema, showing how tables relate to each other through primary and foreign keys. SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) offers a built-in tool for creating these diagrams, which can be invaluable for developers, DBAs, and analysts working with complex databases.
Steps to create Database Diagram from SQL Server Database:
- Go to SSMS
- Connect to Required SQL Server Instance
- Right Click on the Database for which Database Diagram needs to be created
- Click on New Database Diagram
- Select all the required tables for which we need to create database diagram.
- We can scroll down to find and include our required table(s) in the database diagram.
- Click Close.
- Now we can see that our database diagram is ready.
