    Power Query Sql Database Relationships

    I am connecting to an sql database using power query and fumbling my way through the 400+ tables contained within by using the table previews.

    Is there a nice way of looking at an overview of all the database tables AND their relationships?

    I'm at home so can't try it now, but just getting ideas for tomorrow.

    If you have access to Oracle's SQL developer, you can use import data dictionary to visualise the tables and the foreign key relationships. Other database navigators will probably have something similar.

    Thanks Martin.

    I have SQL Server Management Studio 2012.

    There is a Database Diagrams folder in Object Explorer, but looks like I don't have the right access.

    They probably haven't made any diagrams. You can do it in visual studio, never used it, but if you have Viso, I believe that you can generate db model diagrams in that too

    You're right. IT tells me no diagrams created. I can view the table dependencies though in the object explorer so that may have to do for now.
