Database Diagram BLANK in 18.8

Question

I updated my SSMS to 18.8 today and some of my database diagrams just show up as BLANK screens. Do you not understand the importance of the database diagram? You've been trying to kill this for a long time. Why? PLEASE FIX. You are inhibiting business operations.

Answer 1

Hi @Joe B ,

Diagrams corrupted by previous versions of SSMS will open as a blank screen in SSMS 18.6+. Which version of SSMS that the database diagrams are created or saved? Please check if the diagrams corrupted?

Quote from the MS feedback.

It was the version before this latest one, I don't know which one since I overwrote it. As long as it didn't screw up any of the relationships I guess I can just drag all the tables back onto the screen.

Yes, you are right. You can recreate the diagrams when there is no corruption.
