It got me thinking about the process, the data types, constraints, and relationships in a way that I felt further solidified my knowledge of SQL. That being said, I found it very useful to create my own ERD manually. In the end what had previously taken me hours to complete now only took me 30 seconds. The next time I attempted to create an ERD I first right-clicked on the database I wanted to work with and instead chose “Generate ERD” and initially it still appeared that I had a blank ERD to start with but when I zoomed out I noticed that an ERD was already created for me and it included all of the accurate table names, row names, constraints and relationships. When prompted import the CSV file with your table definitions. In SmartDraw, choose the Automatic ERD (Database Diagram) in the Extension section of the template dialog. Because of that I actually had to manually create each table, row, and constraint in the diagram and it took me hours. Generate Your Relational Database Schema. When I initially tried to create an ERD using pgAdmin 4 I clicked on the “New ERD Project” option in the Tools dropdown and it gave me a blank grid to work off of.
