You can either add existing database objects to a diagram by dragging them from Database Explorer or create new ones using the Devart - Diagram toolbar buttons.
To add an existing database object, drag it from Database Explorer. Select multiple database objects in Database Explorer with SHIFT or CTRL key to drag them to the diagram.
This is the way you can add tables, views, stored procedures, and functions to the diagram. Triggers are added to the diagram automatically with their tables.
If you drag a database to the diagram, all its objects will be added to the diagram.
Note
You cannot add database objects from a different connection to the same diagram.
Foreign key relations are displayed on the diagram automatically when both of the connected tables are displayed on the diagram.
To create a new database object on the diagram, perform the following steps:
Click the corresponding button on the Devart - Diagram toolbar to create a corresponding database object, and then on the diagram sheet. A dialog box with the corresponding database object editor will appear.
Set all required database object settings in the editor and click OK to create a database object.
You can also open the database object editor dialog by right-clicking the diagram and choosing items from the New sub-menu of the shortcut menu.
To create a new foreign key relation between two diagram tables, you may perform the following steps:
Click the New Relation button on the Devart - Diagram toolbar.
Click the child table and move the mouse pointer, holding the mouse button pressed, to the parent table. Then, release the mouse button. A partially initialized New Foreign Key Dialog Box will appear.
Specify the missing parameters in the dialog box and click OK.
