Viewing an overview diagram from the Database Explorer

You can use an overview diagram from the Database Explorer to visualize a connected database.
To open an overview diagram from the Database Explorer:
  1. Expand a connection. You can open a storage overview diagram from a database or an Information Engineering (IE) or Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation overview diagram from any schema.
  2. Expand the Diagrams folder and complete one of the following steps:
    • Double-click the automatically generated diagram.
    • Right-click the Diagrams folder and click New Overview Diagram.
  3. Type a diagram name and select elements to include in the overview diagram.
  4. Click OK.
The diagram opens in the editor area. You can modify the appearance of the diagram in the Properties view, or add annotations to the diagram, but these changes are not saved to the Diagrams folder after you close the diagram. You can save the results to an image file or print them, but you cannot save changes to the Diagrams folder.
