  In the ss below I highlighted several rows in each block showing tables in diagram view to show where I think data type assignments could be displayed.  Is there a reason that SSMS doesn't display data types assigned to column names?  I've searched to see if there is a way to add them but came up empty.  As a noob, it would help me prevent trying to create relationships between elements that have incompatible characteristics.

  If there is an option to do that, please tell me.  If there is a reason not to do it, I'm here to learn.
