Video: Database Diagrams - An Introduction

  • ·Skill level: 100 (Beginner)
  • ·Run Time: 9:15
  • ·Instructor: Scott Whigham

Description:

All experienced SQL developers and administrators recognize that being able to "see" your database gives you great confidence in the queries you write. It helps speed up development, ensure correct queries, and remove guesswork from the development cycle (well, as much as possible). This video shows you how you can create your own visual diagrams for your SQL Server database. These diagrams can be generated and viewed in the Enterprise Manager and can even be printed over multiple pages (which you will tape together and hang on your wall) for easier visualization. If you struggle with JOINs, subqueries, or foreign keys and relationships, then you'll enjoy this video on creating ERDs (Entity Relationship Diagrams) in SQL Server
