This document provides an overview on how to use the Auto Generate Table Dependency Diagram SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) extension to quickly generate an Entity Relationship Diagram from a starting table and bring together all the directly related tables into one diagram.
You may find that when you start a new project, the database schema can be overwhelming, due to the volume of tables, and you are currently working on a subset of tables. But you want to encapsulate only that subset of tables into a diagram, so that you can understand their relationship without all the other entities.
