Visually connect relations to correct columns

harjot 6 years ago updated by ben c arnold 5 years ago 9 1 duplicate

It'd be incredibly useful if the editor showed the lines starting and ending at the connecting fields in a relation.


This would help anyone eyeball the diagram to see which fields are related to other fields without having to click around the diagram.

How do I add an FK to an existing column

andrew 6 years ago updated by hannah gryska 6 months ago 12

I've imported an existing schema that didn't have any FK's set, but all of the columns are there ready for the FK.

So, how can i add a new FK for the PK of the parent table to the existing column in the child table.

At the moment I have to delete the column and add the FK, otherwise it adds the column in again with a "_1" suffix.

Thanks

Andrew

To connect two table, tool creates new FK column in child table, this is done deliberately to avoid any mistakes by the user. Otherwise there are lot of chances of mistake, like not all the properties/attributes of the column be same. For example if Parent column PK is of datatype nvarchar(45), and child table column (which user wants to make as FK) is nvarchar(46).


Probably, in future we will add the feature where when user tries to add relationship, and the tool finds same column in child table with same properties/attributes, then use existing column.

For now,  just delete the column and create relationships, which makes sure that new FK column has correct attributes.

Thanks

Sorted diagrams

Peter Reid 4 years ago updated by jean-marie astier 11 months ago 5

Please can we have the list of diagrams sorted alphabetically. I have many diagrams now, they represent database schemas, and having them in the order they were created is not so flash.
