I’m doing the exercises in the book: "Use the C#Head", and one of the exercises was asked to create a Database Diagrams. But you don’t have this option in Microsoft Visual Studio 2015.

So that’s my Visual Studio:

No longer exists. You can install SQL Server Management Studio that has this, but it’s not the same thing.

That book is very old. Or you need to learn from something new or you need to make adaptations to your study, which is not a bad idea, because if you’re just going to follow what a book says step by step, you’re not really learning, you’re just following a training program.

  • I get it. But what took its place then? And besides SQL Server Management, is there anything else that can be used?

  • To produce database diagrams have a lot of software out there, generally compatible with major Dbs market.

As @Maniero mentioned, there is no more. One alternative I really like is Dbeaver. It is very complete, has support for Mysql, Postgresql, Sqlite, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Sybase, MS Access, Teradata, Firebird, Apache Hive, Phoenix, Presto, etc. It has support for Linux, Mac and Windows. You can also create diagrams through it.

Here’s a tutorial how to access SQL Server in Dbeaver
