Is there a way to create database diagrams from selected number of tables, For example If I need to create the relationship between 5 tables out of 70 in the database ?
yes you can, if you are using SSMS, simply go to the database diagrams folder, and create a new one, select the 5 tables you wanted to include and you can drag and drop them to show the layout.

Yes, I have got all the table layout, Is there a way to draw the relationships between them ?
surely, if you drag some of the column from 1 table to another, it will then create the FK for you. I believe that is what you are looking for?
No, the tables are already existing and defined, I do not want to change the relationship
I want to see the existing relationship between the tables
You need to install SQL Server Management Studio Express (if not installed ) .
- Just right Click on Database Diagrams and create new diagram.
- Select the existing tables and if you have specified the references in your tables properly.
- You will be able to see the complete diagram of selected tables.
