Entity Relation Diagram (ER-Diagram) is very important aspect of database designing, with the help of ER Diagram we can define Primary Keys, Foreign Keys, Unique Keys so entire relations in our schema. I have suggested key steps to design fantastic ER-Diagram.



Step 1: On very first step connect to “Object Explorer Object”, and then select Server Type, Server Name, User name & password then click on “Connect”, then you show database lists under “Databases”, then expand specific database “Appsient_Db” to design ER Model, now you will find “Database Diagrams” folder, right click and on click on very first property “New Database Diagram”.

Step 2: Now you will pop up next window of “Add Table”, you have to add tables from the list which are you dealing with ER Model.

Step 3:  Now you have to set primary keys, foreign keys, unique keys etc, here you can set all tables relational entity.

Step 4: Table View:  You have to “right click” on specific database object then you will list properties, now I am highlighting important features “Standard”, now we can list “Data Type”, “Allow Nulls”, so a very extensive view of our Entity relational diagram.

Step 5: Now we have to save the “Diagram” permanently in our database.

  1. A good tutorial. Thank you for sharing. But I prefer to download templates. So much easier. I use them for their presentations. Here's a site where I download currently http://charts.poweredtemplate.com/powerpoint-diagrams-charts/index.html.
