How can I create a diagram in visual studio 2012 like this one
In SQL Server Management Studio...
You'll get a popup about "support objects required for database diagramming". Click Yes
In Visual Studio 2012 you can create a windows app project or web app project and add a new item in your solution's project called an 'Ado.net Entity Data Model" You can then import a model from an existing database or create your own model.

How to open database diagram in Visual Studio 2017?
Database diagrams in xsd format can be opened in Visual Studio.
I Created and worked with Database Diagram xsd format using Visual Studio 2019 (can do same in VS 2017) in the following manner: -
Open Visual Studio and create a new C# console application (you can also use VB)
Go to “Solution Explorer” and right click on the Project and choose Add > New Item from sub-menu
from the pop up window, choose Visual C# project type as "Data" and select Dataset
Select main menu View > SQL Server Object Explorer to connect and view the desired SQL database objects.
Connect using credentials to view database objects like Views, tables etc.
To draw the database diagram, drag the required tables to the Dataset Pane
As per this similar question on MSDN, the database diagrams have been deprecated after Visual Studio 2012.
The answer there provides two workarounds:
You can use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to work with Database diagrams, here is a download link.
You can add a item (ADO.NET Entity Data Model) to project, it will create for you a .edmx file which contains a table with relation. More in here.

There is little website of books and I want to save the names of books and authors into the database.
I ask if it's possible to create a local sql server database in the project and to save the books here.
I'm newbie to Web programming.
For example,in Android studio there was SQLite database and SQLiteOpenHelper classes where I was able to create local database in the project.
Is it possible in Visual studio 2015?
We got a project called local database - SQL Server Compact Database (*.sdf) in visual studio u can make use of it.
(a) In Solution Explorer,right-click on your application then select "Add" -> "New Item".
(b) Go to "Data" -> "Local database" then click on the "Add" button.
(c) Then go to the Server Explorer then expand your database ("MyDB.sdf") then right-click on "Table" then select "Create Table".
(d)And u'll end up in wizard for creating table or for other operations.
This link helps you to set it up.

Can you tell me how I can generate an ER diagram for my database1 (see below) created with VS 2015
Thanks in advance
Ensure you installed either Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools or Microsoft Web Developer Tools in order to get the Entity Data Model Designer.
These are the steps to generate entity relationship diagram. It was tested in VS2012
Open Visual Studio
Create a project or open an existing project
(must be Visual Basic, Visual C# project, or Console Application)
Right-click the project and choose Add -> New Item…
Under Visual C# Items select “Data”
Select the template “ADO.NET Entity Data Model”
Give it a name and click “Add”
Select “Generate from database” or “Empty model”
If “Generate from database” selected enter connection
info, choose the database objects and done!
The model is stored as a “.edmx” file.
With Visual Studio you can create a static diagram (class diagram) but not entity relationship diagrams (for you DB).
You will have to use another tool for this. For SQL server you can use SQL server Management Studio.
DB Objects in the editor will be related as in Diagram so Just relate objects in the Db and drag to editor.
table created in SQL management studio will not show up in Visual studio
When I try to create Light Switch App. I just added new table as an appendix to existing database with existing tables. All native tables will show up, except the new one. Any idea?
Table Exist in Server Explorer but not in solution explorer
I have a database ready which I am maintaining manually, I would like to now use that database to create an SQL project. I am creating also but not able to import the existing Tables, Views, Stored Procedures or any other object. Is there any way to do it. If yes please let me know.
Thanks,
Piyush
Using the Database Edition of Visual Studio (not to be confused with the older 'Database Project') you can generate a complete set of scripts that can be added to source control. Data and schema comparison tools are also included.
This tool was originally known as 'Data Dude' and is available for Visual Studio 2005 and higher.
I'm not aware of any reverse-engineering support for databases in Visual Studio.
What you need to do is script out your existing SQL database into *.sql files from SQL Server Management Studio:
and then import those as "Create Scripts" into your database project in Visual Studio. Any further changes can be added as "Change Scripts" to your project.
