We've recently purchased a software package, which comes with its own SQL Server 2005 database. I'm curious to know how the tables all fit together, and so I've thought I would generate a database diagram from the Database Diagrams folder. When I attempt to, I get the following message from SSMS:
This database does not have one or more of the support objects required to use database diagramming. Do you wish to create them?
I'm not sure if I should say yes, or no, so I normally say no. However, I would think this wouldn't matter if I did say yes. So my question is, does it do any "harm" to answer Yes to the above question?

I have never experienced any harm by answering yes.

All you're doing by answering "yes" is creating the system tables and stored procedures needed to create and maintain diagrams, so you shouldn't expect any harm.
