Reverse Engineering A Full Entity Relationship Diagram On Database?
I have MS SQLExpress 2005.
I have about 10 tables and would like
to create an ERD with full relationship connections
without having to manually do it. How do I get this
to generate automatically? I am assuming this is
possible?
Thanks in advance.

Entity Relationship Diagram
I have VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express installed and I created 4 tables and setup the primary and foreign keys and can view the individual foreign key relationships by right clicking on the foreign key. Is there a way to view a table relationship diagram (fields with primary and foreign keys), such as Access provides. Does VS 2005 or SQL Server 2005 have that capability? Thanks

Entity Relationship Diagram
Entity Relationship diagram can anyone help me with my diagram pleasee..i have been banging my head on it for weeks. i have 6 entities Student, Course, Module, Attendance, and Result Polato Student Record System "The Polato university administration has decided to computerise their student record system. The system must be able to automatically print a new ID card for students on their admission and after completion of each academic year. The card should have the student’s name, number of years and the message welcome to 1st, 2nd or final year. In a bid to curb the rate of incompletion, the system should also be able to record attendance of students to any class. The system should be able to automatically send out a warning to any student that misses any two lectures for the first time. (Of course the student should come up with a very good reason for missing the lectures or else he/she will be removed from the module). Missing three or more lectures leads to automatic withdrawal from the module involved. A student will receive notice from the system, right after missing the second lecture. The system also must be able to calculate each student’s results for that semester only showing details of all modules taken. You should use the simple formula; the total of all the modules taken, divided by the number of modules" charles

Reverse Engineering SPs
Does anyone know of a way to determine the code of a stored procedure that was built with encryption? I inherited a db with many of these and we are not sure which version of the source code exists on the server. Alternatively, can I compile a new SP and compare it to the old one in any way other than testing lots of data? thanks in advance.

Reverse Engineering And Output
Two Question 1. Is there a stored procedure, or a way to reverse engineer a database? I have a lot of legacy dbs that I have inherited that I need to create a recovery system for. Part of this is creating the scripts to build all of the tables and I would like to automate it. 2. How can I output the results of a stored procedure to a text file? When I run sp_configure I would like that information to go to a text file. Thanks in advance Ken Earley

How Can I Create A One-to-one Relationship In A SQL Server Management Studio Express Relationship Diagram?
How can I create a one-to-one relationship in a SQL Server Management Studio Express Relationship diagram? For example: I have 2 tables, tbl1 and tbl2. tbl1 has the following columns: id {uniqueidentifier} as PK name {nvarchar(50)} tbl2 has the following columns: id {uniqueidentifier} as PK name {nvarchar(50)} tbl1_id {uniqueidentifier} as FK linked to tbl1.id If I drag and drop the tbl1.id column to tbl2 I end up with a one-to-many relationship. How do I create a one-to-one relationship instead? mradlmaier

Need Help On Entity-Relationship Design
I need to design a schema that will provide me a hierarchical view in reporting. I mean by this is, lets say: Hospital |_________> Hospital Entity | | | | | V | | Clinic A | | - Jane Doe MD | | - Janette Brown MD | | ACME Clinic | | - Jennifer Smith MD | | Clinic of Jennifer Smith MD | | - Jennifer Smith MD | | - Billy Johnson MD | | | V | - Earl Brown MD (Hospital Entity Resident Practitioner) | - Janette Brown MD V - John Smith MD - Bob Jones MD The design should also allow me to query a practitioner and the query will show all the entities he or she is a member of. If this is not the correct place to post this posting, please let me know the correct place and I will make the necessary changes. Thanks, Stephen

Entity Relationship Management Idea
Please let me know what you think of this scheme I have come up with(not to imply that noone else has before me) for managingrelationships.I have created an entities table with Individual and Organizationalsubtypes. I need to be able to relate them to eachother (e.g., someare customers of or suppliers to others, some have employer/employeerelationships,...). I know this is not an uncommon thing to do.So, I have created relationship pairs with left and right values. Thepairs are things like employee/employer, customer/vendor,contractor/client,... Then I can create relationships that will letme look in two directions. For example, if I say entity1 has anemployee/employer relationship with entity 2, that means that entity1is an employee of entity2 and entity2 is an employer of entity1.Entities (This is just a view of the combined ind/org subtypes tables)EntityID EntityName1 Doe, John2 MyCorp, Inc.3 Smith, Jane4 AnotherCorp, Inc.RelationshipTypesRelTypeID RelLValue RelRValue1 Employee Employer2 Customer Vendor3 Client ContractorRelationshipsRelTypeID LEntityID REntityID1 1 24 2 22 3 3Then I can query for everyone that has a relationship with a specificentity by using:SELECT Entities.EntityName, RelationshipTypes.RelLValue ASRelationship FROM RelationshipsLEFT JOIN Entities ON Entities.EntityID = Relationships.LEntityIDLEFT JOIN RelationshipTypesON Relationships.RelTypeID =RelationshipTypes.RelTypeIDWHERE REntityID = 2UNIONSELECT Entities.EntityName, RelationshipTypes.RelRValue ASRelationship FROM RelationshipsLEFT JOIN Entities ON Entities.EntityID = Relationships.REntityIDLEFT JOIN RelationshipTypesON Relationships.RelTypeID =RelationshipTypes.RelTypeIDWHERE LEntityID = 2Returns:EntityName Relationship (to EntityID = 2)Doe, John EmployeeSmith, Jane ContractorAnotherCorp, Inc.

Reporting Off Of MS CRM Tying Notes Entity To Opportunity Entity
I am trying to create an opportunity report that includes notes from the notes entity. Unfortunatly, when I pull the fields from the notes entity into my reports, it seems there is no way to tie the notes to specific opportunities or accounts that they are associated with and I get all notes under the first item listed on my report. Is there a way to link data sets like Access lets you link tables?

Primary Entity Always Switched With Secondary Entity
Hi... I just tested to create a Report Model using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. But I found some problems when I tried to create a report using the Report Builder, that the entity (that was supposed to be a primary entity) always switched to secondary entity when I drag a field from other entity. For example: The entity that was supposed to be the primary one is the 'Sales Target per site' table. List of fields of 'Sales Target' table: - Site ID - Sales Target value The entity that was supposed to be the secondary one is 'Sales Order' table. List of fields of 'Sales Order' table: - Site ID - Sales Order Number - Sales Value First, I drag Site ID and Sales Target value from 'Sales Target per site' entity. Then, I drag the Sales Order Number from 'Sales Order' table, and......... 'Sales Target' entity switched to be a secondary entity, and 'Sales Order' become the primary one =( anybody help me to solve this problem please.... thanks, Reza

External Entity Handling Database Tables
Hi, I'm trying to find out whether it is possible to integrate an external entity into MS SQL Server in following way: the entity defines certain set of tables when user performs a query on one of these tables, the query is sent to the entity for processing and results are returned back to SQL server (and to client) I thought integration services could be used for this task, but I'm quite unfamiliar with MS SQL server, so I don't know whether it would be a feasible solution...

Reverse-engineer Database
I`d like to find a script that will create a "create" script for an entire database. It would write a create-table script for every table in the database, complete with all the PKs and FKs too. Since I`m asking for the world (or at least the world`s creation script), then I`d also like the script to (optionally) write insert statements for all the rows currently residing in all the tables. Do you have such a script? If not, can you give me a couple of pointers to assist me in writing my own? TIA

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 relationshipbetween 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 diagramIn 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.

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

Cannot Open Database Diagram
I attached a SQL express database created on another computer on another SQL express instance running on another computer. When I tried to open a database diagram previously created i receive the following error: "Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects." I must mention that in the attached database the server login is mapped to the databse as db_owner role. So what's the problem ? Any suggestions ? Thanks
