      Using VS, connnect to your DB, expand it, just above the tables there is an option of diagrams, right click it and choose new diagram, then add all your tables You an also do the same from sql server management studio

            Piece of cake dude Once you have the diagram: Select all your tables (in the diagram Right click over one table Select Table View Choose Standard or custom (You can also modify custom and define the info you want to show)

              Next question will be "Why can't I save the diagram, I get a foriengn key violation" X| And then what is a clustered index.

                A database diagram is the very foundation of a database design and development effort. It represents the basic structure of a database; how information is stored, categorized and managed within it. Creately supports all database models (i.e. relational model, hierarchical model, network model etc.), and the following database model templates are made with its Database design software Source:[
