Not Able To Create A DB Diagram In SQL Server 2005. No Menu Option For Creating A DB Diagram??
I have created a database with several tables. I want to create a database diagram to show the relationship
between the tables. Below are the steps from the SQL Server 2005 documentation on how to create a database diagram.
The problem is that when I right click on the Database Diagrams folder I am only given two options. They are:
"Working with SQL Server diagrams" and "Refresh"
There is no menu choice to create a new database diagram. Can anyone tell me what the problem here is?
To create a new database diagram
In Object Explorer, right-click the Database Diagrams folder or any diagram in that folder.
Choose New Database Diagram on the shortcut menu.
The Add Table dialog box appears.
Select the required tables in the Tables list and click Add.
The tables are displayed graphically in the new database diagram.

Cannot Create Db Diagram
When trying to create a DB diagram on my local SQL Server 2005 db, I get the following error: cannot insert the value null into column "diagram_id" I have searched the web and can't seem to find anything on this. I just simply drag one table from my local db onto the diagram windows and try to Save it and that's what I get. I'm able to save diagrams on a networked SQL Server.

Is It Possible To Create A Diagram?
Hi, I€™m trying to create a DB for my course at Uni and as far as I€™m aware to create a DB on my desktop at home I need to use CE. So I created a new DB in CE and then created some tables and I now want to create a relationship diagram but there isn€™t an option to do it. In the toolbar the relationship icon is permanently greyed out and unusable and there isn€™t a node in object explorer. Can this be done and am I just missing something obvious? I€™m running it on Vista and I have installed the latest SP, could that cause any problems? Im going crazy and any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Ricky

Sql Server 2005 Diagram Support
For some reason, when I try to access a database diagram on our new 2005 SQL Server, I get the following error msg: "Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner" It then goes on to instruct me to either use Properties > Files or ALTER AUTHORIZATION to change the database owner. Well, I've done that - and it clearly shows that there is an owner of the database, but even if I log in as that owner, the error msg continues to come up everytime I try to access Diagrams. I found a post to run the following stored procedure which will set the sql server compatability level: EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel database_name, 90 After running that in the query window of Management Stduio, I get the following msg below on the Messages tab: "DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator." I then try to create a new diagram again, and I get the same initial error (at the top of this post). What do I need to do in order to create a DB diagram?

SQL Server 2005 Db Diagram - Export?
I have a good size database (113 tables & views, each with an average of ~15 columns). I'd like to use SQL Server 2005 to create a basic table-layout diagram with fields for the DB, and then move that diagram to Visio or similar (even a bitmap) for additional annotations and updates. What I've seen so far with the tool that comes with SQL Server is that it's about good enough to do the initial generation and save me the work of having to type out the ~1600+ fields plus the relationships, but would be clumsy to use after that. Unfortunately, so far I haven't seen a way to do any kind of export. It doesn't even want to let me print it (though it will, oddly, layout page-breaks for me). I'm currently using SSMS Standard edition (not express, but not pro either), so if that's the problem we do have a pro liscense for only one of the users here- I might be able to get him to do the export for me.

How To Make A Diagram From Data In A SQL Server Table?
Hi all, I´m a real SQL rookie and after two days of intensive research and reading of dozens of articles and web pages a bit confused about all that knowledge concerning database technology ... and I only want to do something very easy ... Now, my question is, how can I produce a diagram from that data, that is stored in a table, maybe called "DiagData1"? I have installed SQL Server Express 2005 and Visual Basic Express 2005 and did some first steps with it as where shown in an brilliant tutorial that I´ve found on a Microsoft (?) webpage. It shows the complete way building a database and connecting it to a form which was build with Visual Basic. So all what is left is find out how the database tables are connected to a diagram. thanks´n greets, VBFan

Create A Relational Diagram From Non-relational Database
Hi all, I am trying to create a diagram for our database, during the creating, I create some of the relationships which were not there(basically our original database is not relational database, that's why I am doing it) So sometimes I have to chage data type in order to create a relationship for the coloumns in different tables. i.e. change char(16) to varchar(7) (I checked the field that make sure all the data in this field is <= 7 characters) But when I saved the diagram, there is an error message that state: Errors were encountered during the save process. Some of your database objects are not saved on your diagram. 'agent' table saved successfully 'VisitUSA' table - Unable to create relationship 'FK_VisitUSA_agent'. ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_VisitUSA_agent'. The conflict occurred in database 'CMC', table 'agent', column 'AgentCode'. What does that mean? is it caused by some of the agentcode data in VisitUSA table which is not in agent table? Thanks!

Database Diagram
I am working through a book about setting up a database, though i'm doing it slightly differently, using a sql server database on a remote server rather than the local sql server express database shipped with visual studio. everything has been going fine until i've reached a part where they want to add a database diagram to the existing database. they talk about right clicking the database diagram node, and selecting add, but for some reason there is no database diagram node, so i can't do it this way. the book also says using the data>add new>diagram from the menu, but when i do this i either have no diagram option (when i have no table opened) or else the diagram option is greyed out and unselectable (when i have a table opened). any ideas on how i can add a database diagram? dc

UML: Context Diagram
I'm finding the context diagram for system's analysis and design a challenge. I'm trying to draw a logical data structure for the scenario below. I can't get past level 0, I have one external entity....Please take a quick look, any suggestions would be most welcome. LDS of Staff and Student Database. The University of Chicago accepts students on to both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The UOC records student details, personal and the qualifications they have gained at A-level(or equivalent) and above. Students are required to have qualifications of A-level or above in-order to undertake any of its undergraduate courses. For a postgraduate course, students must have at least a bachelor’s degree. However some exceptions are made for mature students for undergraduate and post graduate courses. The student records are kept for ten years after thy have left the course before being removed from the main database and archived. A student records will be reinstated if the student enrols on a new course. All the courses are made up of modules. Some of the modules are taught to more than one course. Some courses allow electives, i.e. a student may choose to do some modules and not others, the student’s choice must be recorded. All lectures at the university belong to a department, e.g. physics, fine art, admissions, etc. but not staff in a department are lectures, there will e administration staff and researchers. One lectures is assigned as the “course leader�, the individual will deal with all the academic matters arising from the course. A lecturer will not be the course leader of more than one course at anyone time. The course leader is always from the same department that has responsibility for the course. Lectures may teach a module on any course. Usually a module is taught by one and only lecturer but there are exceptions. Each module has a number of assessments. Typically this is two assignments and an exam, although there are some variations. The details of each assessment and marks for each individual student are recorded. Each member of staff has a line manager to whom they are directly responsible. The line manager is of course another member o staff. The line managers of lectures and researchers are always more senior academics. The line manager of administration staff will be another administer for at lower levels but will be a departmental head for the more senior administrators. Each student is assigned a personal tutor from the lecturing staff. The lecturer concerned may change but only the current tutor is recorded on the database.

Exporting Diagram
When using the DTS to copy a db from my local MSSQL to the remote server (connecting via IP address) everything is copied ok except the diagram laying out the relations. The table relations *are* copied because the damn thing works as expected also on the remote server. I figured out that the diagrams are saved in the sysfile 'dtproperties' but when copying using the DTS query tool from local to remote this table is not visible. I need to remove some relations on certain tables when bulk loading new data and was just wondering how I got to copy the diagram (as opposed to creating a new diagram on the remote server and adding relations manually). Thanks a lot for any ideas, Niels
