What tables link to what??

  • Sorry guys/gals this is a really dumb question. I'm new to sql and am currently using with a mapping piece of software ESRI ArcSDE. We are storing spatial information on sql and naming the tables accordingly but how can I tell what a, d, f, i, s and any other tables are linked or required. The ESRI documentation is sketchy at best and with a few trial runs of loading data I dont want tables being left hanging around. Any help would be appreciated.

    Cheers, Keith

  • Hi Keith,

    Do you have access to Visio?  One of the versions of Visio allows you to reverse engineer a database and includes support for all of the defined foreign keys and so on. 

    The same capability exists in Enterprise Manager.  In EM, select server group | server name | databases | database name | diagrams.  I the right hand pane, right click and select new database diagram.  Select all of the tables you care about and add them to the diagram.

    Hope this helps
