Buddies,
I created a database schema diagram in database A using EM’s graphic user interfaces. Because there is a table, called table Y, in another database, called database B, also involves in the schema diagram, I need to add that table to the diagram, too. If I use EM’s graphic user interfaces, when I open the table list dialog while I am standing on database A, I cannot see table Y from database B. Please give me any idea to add table Y ito the diagram.
Thank you in advance.

Not possible, I'm afraid. You could add the table to database A and populate via a trigger or scheduled process.

You may need third party data modeling tools.

rmiao,
So can you give me some third party data modeling tools i can look for to buy so all tables can show all their column names and types automatically instead typing those?
Thanks.
