Default Visio Reverse Engineer - 08-10-2009 , 04:34 PM






I am trying to create diagrams in Visio that display tables
in our SQL database. But our tables have so many fields,
they don't fit in the drawing. Anyone know of a clever way
to display large tables in Visio that I can give someone
a diagram file to view. I would rather not give them a vsd
file, but html or something they can view without visio.

Use subsets.

Don't have Visio add all the tables to one page. Manually add related
tables to illistrate core functionality and use multiple pages.

Or by an "E" sized plotter.
