Editor for Database Diagrams

Purpose

You can use the database diagram to model a submodel of the database schema. Database tables are shown as nodes and foreign keys as edges.

Innovator uses the IDEF1X notation. This makes the diagrams stand out from ER diagrams.

Database views can also be displayed as nodes and their From clauses as edges.
