Hi

I'm fairly new to MS SQL 2005. I've now got a database up and running with a number of tables and views each with relationships.

Is there a visual tool I can used to see a high level view of what tables I have and how they are related?

Many thanks
Richard

In SQL Mgmnt studio, you can expand your database and tables to see all tables in explorer on left side. then you can click database diagrams and select new db diagram. then window opens up where you can drag and drop the tables. right click and select show relationships,then you can see relationships between tables.

You can use sp_depends for views and SP.
