Hi, everyone. I'm in need of something better than the built-in database diagrams in SQL EM. By better, I mean something that is more responsive to use with a lot of tables (250 or so), and preferably something that's smarter about adding FK's where they don't exist -- SQL EM wants to "modify" a lot more tables than seems necessary.

Obviously cheaper is better than more expensive, but I really need a full and complete schema diagram and am willing to spend money to to get something that's usable and decently quick.

Thanks

If you want something decent the ErWin but it's not cheap and takes a lot of effort to learn how to use it.
Probably doesn't meet your requirements.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
