sql server - SSMS version 18 – no Database Diagrams

Question

I notice that Database Diagrams are not supported in SSMS version 18, any idea why, and is there a way to get the same functionality?

And why is the T-SQL debugger gone now?

Answer 1

As it was posted at June 11, 2019, to announce that SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 18.1 is now generally available, the Database diagrams is back in SSMS 18.1 along side SSBDIAGNOSE.EXE and Integration Services (SSIS)
