Jon helped us get this site off the ground, good to have him back for a guest appearance! http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Miscellaneous/normalizingdates/1122/2003/09/05http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Miscellaneous/normalizingdates/1122/An extremely useful tool to reverse engineer a database is Visio 2000. It also has the ability to generate a database. This generation takes place after Visio has been used to draw the tables and relationships. This process can be a huge time saver. If a database needs to be tweaked and reworked it can be done in Visio and then regenerated. This article is intended to provide a nice introduction to using Visio 2000 to generate a database. http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Basics/visiodesign/738/2002/07/22http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Basics/visiodesign/738/
