Hello Team,

I am trying to use Visio - "Database Model Diagram" template to create a database model diagram (Referring to this link - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/no-database-tab-when-trying-to-reverse-engineer-a/b7015e43-9c88-4ef0-a9c7-9d8fe98f793f ). But I don't see Database tab and "Reverse Engineer Wizard" as mentioned in the documentation. I am using "Microsoft Visio Professional 2016". Can someone please advice ?

    Hi,

    I suggest you refer to this support article:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/reverse-engineer-an-existing-database-into-a-database-model-fb034862-acfc-45bc-88b2-f33d1e1f8614?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us#OfficeVersion=Office_2013_-_2016

    Visio 2016 and 2013 don't support the Reverse Engineer Wizard

    We're sorry. The Reverse Engineer Wizard isn't available in Visio Professional 2016, Visio Standard 2016, Visio Professional 2013, or Visio Standard 2013. In order to use the database modeling features, consider upgrading to Visio Plan 2.

    Hope the information is helpful.
