Is there any way to include more tables in an ER diagram after it has been created. I tried dragging and dropping a table from the list in the DB Browser but I get an error stating that one or more of the tables selected is not part of the diagram’s schema.

It means I have to regenerate the diagrams each time I put out a new release of our product. Which also means I have to move around the tables so the diagram is readable. It would be nice to be able to refresh the existing tables (new columns added) and/or add new tables. It is not so bad when doing all tables, but we create different views of our schema for various functional areas since the big drawing includes ~190 tables.

rr,
You can right-click on the tables and do a Refresh to update their stats, but there is no easy way to add tables at the moment. It’s an open enhancement for us to add.

Actually I did find how it can be done (in 6.0 GA). It works on the standalone DB Explorer (not sure about when running full Eclipse). If you go to View->Refresh Diagram, it allows you to select new tables to be added.
