Database Diagram
Some form of Database Diagram, similar to SSMS, would make using this much easier and enjoyable.
[help wanted] Is anyone willing to build an extension for database diagram?
When you say extension, would this be something that would be a part of this Github repo? If so, probably need to address the #102 licensing issue first before you accept code contributions.
@BrentOzar no, extensions can develop outside this repo and use their own licensing. We plan to support extension installation in a future release.
With database diagrams being removed from SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) 18, someone should put a roaring fire under this.
I agree with @JediSQL. The priority on this should be moved towards the top of the pile with database diagrams removed from SSMS 18.
Suggestion 1: Per the agile paradigm, build the reverse engineering mode first; add forward engineering later.
Suggestion 2: It would be cool to have a feature that could, at least, read existing diagrams out of the sysdiagrams table. I've spent countless hours creating diagrams to support the developers that work with my databases.
@waynebloss did you install azuredatastudio? SSMS is another diferent program. This is a feature request for azure data studio. Sorry if I am saying something obvious.
@mercuriete I was responding to JediSQL who said "With database diagrams being removed from SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) 18..."
I was simply correcting the information.
The original Microsoft documentation for removal of database diagrams from SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) 18 said that it was deprecated. I think that someone got carried away and mistook deprecated for discontinued and removed it from SSMS 18. So, Microsoft is probably still planning on removing diagrams from a future version of SSMS.
@JediSQL @waynebloss previously Database Diagrams was planned for removal from SSMS and was not included in 18.0. It turns out customers actually like and use this feature 😄 so @Matteo-T added it back in a subsequent 18.# release. I don't think there are currently any plans to remove diagrams from a future SSMS version as far as I'm aware.
That is correct, @kburtram. Sadly, though, the Database Diagram is not fully functional at the moment. I've been trying to get it fix for quite some time now...
Please add Database Diagram to Azure data studio, similar to the one in SSMS. Thank you
Please, it doesnt need to be fancy.
Something like graphviz -> SVG
In the end we only need tables and relations in a graph.
First iteration could be graphviz -> SVG only table names and relations. something like: http://viz-js.com/ as azuredatastudio is open we can rely in another opensource projects.
I´ve built an extention for this. It doesn´t have that many features yet, but try it out if you are interested.
Here is the repo: https://github.com/R0tenur/visualization/
You can install from vsix downloaded here: https://github.com/R0tenur/visualization/releases/

it worked great for me, thank you very much! I struggled a bit to install extension on azure data studio. What finally worked for me was to download the folder and then "file > install Extension from VSIX Package" and had to reload ADS and now it works seamlessly.
