Diagramming Multiple Databases

I have a database that contains a product listing. I also have several other
databases that looks at this product listing database. When diagramming one
of these databases that uses the product listing database is there a way to
add this product listing database to my diagram? I only see where you can add
tables from the one database that you are trying to diagram.
Thanks
I guess you are talking to EM diagrams. They are limited to a single
database only. Maybe you could use some other tool, like Visio?

Developer Edition Product Key

Ive got a server which I want to install the SQL Server Developer Edition on but it previously had the full version on which has been uninstalled but every time I try to install the dev edition it it its prompting me for a Product key which I know for the developer edition isnt needed. Is there a registry key from the previous install which is triggering this ?

Developer edition does require a product key. The only editions that don't are Eval and Express. Enter the key supplied when you purchased the Dev edition and you're good to go.

Thanks,

Developer and enterprise edition

s the developer edition functional without having either the standard or
enterprise edition or is it an extended product.
I am trying to learn on the fly on my home pc and want to purchase SQL
server 2000. All other versions are expensive for this purpose.Yes, Developer Edition is stand-alone. You should be able to find it for <
$50.
You can also consider MSDE ($0), but with that edition you can't use
Enterprise Manager / Query Analyzer. There are alternatives, though...

I've been getting conflicting feedback. I want to use the query
analyzer and
enterprise manager and create a little play database and retrieve info so
the MSDE version is out of the question. I used the evaluation edition but i
t
has since run out.
People have just been telling me that the developer edition was an add
on to the enterpise or standard edition, somewhat like the personal edition
is part of the enterprise edition. Is that not the case?

No, developer edition is completely separate. Ask "people" where they got
their "information"...
