Viewing tables graphically 1

All,

I am fairly new to SQL Admin, being quite a hand at programming web and client apps for dbs... and I remember someone showing me a graphical view of all the tables and how their relationships are.

I am in Enterprise manager but for the life of me can't remember how to create such a graphical listing so i can print it out on A3 or something and see what we are up against...

Can anyone help?

What I remember is a page full of rectangles (These were the tables) and lines between them (relationships).

In enterprise manager, drill down to your database. Listed underneath it will be... [!]Diagrams[/!], Tables, Views, Stored Procedures, users, Roles, Rules, Defautls, User Defined Data Types, and User Defined Functions.

If there is nothing listed under diagrams, then one hasn't been created yet.

Right click the word 'Diagrams', then 'New Database Diagram'.
