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.
