| This is probably the wrong forum for such a question, but I'll try to help. Are you looking for an Entity Relationship Diagram? You can produce a rudimentary Physical data model within SQL Server using the Database Diagrams feature. Alternately, Microsoft Visio allows you to reverse engineer a database and has a lot more layout / organizational options. Moving into more enterprise solutions would be CA ErWin or EmbarcaderoER/Studio, which offer a lot more features geared toward a larger organization with multiple database developers / architects such as documentation templates (conceptual, logical, physical, data dictionary) and forward engineering data models. |
