Database Reverse Engineering - Display more attributes for entitie
Dear Microsoft,
It would help if one could display additional attributes for entities when drawing relational database diagrams or reverse engineering databases. SQL Server 2005 allows one to customize the display of tables in database diagrams. For example, one can show attributes such as Nullable, Length, Default Value, Condensed Type, etc. I want to do the same in Microsoft Visio. Our GIS group prepares system maps that show the structures of our spatial and tabular databases in SQL Server. Currently, Visio appears to be limited to showing just the field names and field keys in entities. Also, we'd like to be able to customize the entity shape, but don't know how. We love Visio, but would like to see more enhancements to the database diagraming features in Visio. -- rupertsland Winnipeg, Canada ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
