Tough Question!

Hi All, I have been given a task to display the schema of a target db (MS
SQL) and display its relationship visually on an ASPX Page. How should I
proceed with it
Any pointers, tips would be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

It's not an easy task, my advise is for you to check third party tools

Hi

You might try using SQLDMO library. It's a com object, I don't think
there is a managed equivalent yet. I've used it from a win app and
find it extremely useful and powerful but I've never used it from a
web app so here is an asp.net example I found, seems ok at a glance.

Just search for SQLDMO on google or the like, there is lots of info
available.
Hope this helps.

It's simple. Use the SqlConnection.GetSchema method.

If it is so simple, how about providing an example of using GetSchema
to provide the relationship between two tables? I know you can use
"ForeignKeys", but cant find any documentation on this.
