Diagram Properties


The adjustable diagram display properties are the columns displayed, the fields displayed, the table link strategy and the font size.

Change Diagram Properties:

In a Database Explorer window, right click (or Alt + LeftClick) on the diagram panel.

From the popup menu select Diagram Properties


Diagram Properties Dialog

In the dialog box that appears, select those fields and columns you wish to have displayed in the diagram.

Select the Link Strategy you prefer in the Link Strategy tab.

The Primary Key to Foreign Key Column strategy connects tables starting from the primary key column of the parent table to the foreign key column of the child table. The connection details of this strategy are described in this guide.

The Table Direct strategy connects tables in the most direct (shortest) way. The start and end points of the connection do not vertically align with any particular columns.

Diagram font size can be set in the Font tab.
