relation schema SQL Server 2005

Hi Group,

(I am just starting with SQL Server 2005.)
On SQL Server 7 I used often the nice relation schema, where I used to
draw out the whole database, especially the Foreign Keys constraints.

I found these relational schemas very handy to study an old database I
build a few years earlier that needs some updating.

I tried to find such an utility in SQL Server 2005, but cannot find it.
I did found the FK-constraints, but it is just an popup where I can
define them.

The overview such a visual schema gave was really great and I miss it.

Question: Is it gone in SQL Sevrer 2005, or do I just not know where to
look? If the latter, please guide me. :)

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Erwin Moller

Forget my posting. :-)
I found it.

I had to make an owner of the database before I could proceed.
Did that, and now I have my nice Database Diagram.
(Note to myself: It is named 'Database Diagram', not 'Schema'.)

Sorry for the noise. :P

I don't know what Postgres considers a relation and had no intention of creating one when piping my schema to it...

Hello, I've just encountered a problem that I don't know how to deal with. After having a play with SlonyI, I dropped the entire slony cluster schema, and then tried to drop a schema which held some slave tables for the slony cluster. I kept getting the following error: ERROR: cache lookup failed for relation 4667548

I am new to XML Schema and am running into a bit of a snag. I have defined an XML-based scripting language for an updater program that I am working on. I would like to make a schema for this language since malformed XML documents break the updater. (I did not have time to add good error-handling code, so run-time errors can abound if the document is malformed.) A sample doc might look something like this: <manifest>

Hi All Bit of an odd one - very basically I created an app using the SqlMembershipProvider in VS.NET 2005, and I did it on a MS SQL 2005 server. However, I then find out that for other reasons, I cannot use MS SQL 2005 on the live database, so I transferred my database to my SQL 2000 box.

I am working with an old version of SQL Server (6.5), but the same mechanism may exist in later versions. If there were any changes made to the database schema, would this be recorded somewhere within the database? Would there be some way of determining if there had been any schema changes within the past year? I am presuming all schema changes would be mediated by the SQL command:

I wihsh to discuss whether to use fully qualified names: ..object of objects to operate (create, query..) on is good or not? If someone change order of sql code blocks in my script - this may cause lose of it's context (like: use master / use <mydb>..). I wish to have my sript independed on changes like this and always produce correct result. Does using full name make use of 'use <db>' statement unnecessary?

Hi experts, which approaches would you suggest for: - Reading a database schema (tables, fields, relationships) from SQL Server 2005? - Visualizing the DB schema? For developing a DB tool the schema should be read from the server and then be visualized, e.g. like the SQL Server BI Development Studio

Hi I want to bind a datagrid to a dataset for the table "ProductProductPhoto" in the AdventureWorks database in SQL Server 2005, however I can't because the binding fails on Production.ProductProductPhoto, presumably because it thinks theres some kind of relation in effect here. So how do you do it? I get the error message: Child list for field Production cannot be created.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
