I’d like to auto-generate an ERD from a SQL Server CE 4.0 database. I don’t know if it can be done, or what tool I would need.
The only tools I know of (or that I have) for opening a SQL Server CE 4.0 database is LINQPad and Visual Studio 2010. Evidently SSMS still can’t open one. Anyway, LINQPad does not generate such diagrams, and Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate doesn’t appear to have that ability in regard to a SQL Server CE database.
Any ideas?
My SQL Server Compact toolbox can create a database diagram (DGML) – maybe you can use that? http://sqlcetoolbox.codeplex.com
