The tools for creating database diagrams were removed from the post-2012 versions of Visual Studio. You can:

  • Install SQL Server Management Studio, it supports working with charts (you can download it here, it is also included in the "SQL Server Express with tools "packages")

  • Create an Entity Framework model or a typed DataSet based on the database ADO.NET. These tools provide functionality similar to charts databases.
