Abstract
Graphical maps of databases and related objects within a database have benefits for a database administrator. Instead of displaying all objects related to a node of interest, a user can select what maximum relation level to use to locate related objects. The mapping software starts at the initial node, or objects, and locates only those related objects that are within the maximum relation level as specified by the user. Only these located objects are displayed thereby producing a clearer and more concise map.
