Chapter 8: Being Normal: Normalization and Other Basic Design Issues<br />

Figure 8-7<br />

Select all of the tables (remember to hold down the Ctrl key to select more than one table) as shown in<br />

Figure 8-8.<br />

Figure 8-8<br />

And then click Add and, after a brief pause while <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> draws all the tables you selected, click the<br />

Close button. <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> has added our tables to the diagram, but, depending on your screen resolution,<br />

they are probably very difficult to see due to the zoom on the diagram. To pull more of the tables into<br />

view, change the zoom setting in the toolbar. Finding the right balance between being able to see many<br />

tables at once versus making them so small you can’t read them is a bit of a hassle, but you should be<br />

able to adjust to something that meets your particular taste — for now, I’ve set mine at 75 percent so I<br />

can squeeze in more of the tables at once (fitting all tables in is not that realistic with a database of any<br />

real size table count wise) as shown in Figure 8-9.
