Hi,
I want to create a DataBase Diagram using MS SQL Server Management Studio 2005.
But on context menu of DataBase Diagrams Folder, I am not able to see "New Database Diagram" menu item for any of the Database.
I am getting only two menu item "Working with Sql server 2000 Diagrams" and "Refresh".
Please post suggestions and answers.
Thanks in advance.

Are you connecting to a "SQL Server 2000" server? Management studio 2005 cannot create database diagrams on SQL Server 2000 servers.

Nop,
its not showing menu item itself, its not showing menu item for any of the database(even system database Northwind.

Northwind is not a system database. Anyway, I'm talking about the server version that you connect to.
You can check it by right clicking the server node and clock properties, check the version.
or :
Select @@version

To add a new server to the object explorer click the "Connect object explorer" icon, or open "file ->Connect object explorer...". Enter server connection information and it will be added.

Thanx, For all your help.
Problem has been solved.
My MS SQL server version is 2000. Hence it will generate the Data Base diagram using SQL Server Enterprize manager. :)
