Abstract
A schema diagrammer aids a database administrator or other user in maintaining and managing a database in a computer system. The schema diagrammer allows the user to define “user-defined relationships” between objects in the database. The schema diagrammer generates a graphical schema diagram or map that indicates the objects and their relationships to one another. The relationships that are displayed include both the formal relationships defined programmatically by the database itself and the user-defined relationships.
