it can be a good idea, I'm going to test it after finish other things.

I like that idea, although it would also be worth thinking about
people who are colour-blind when designing this if you can too.
Oh a good point, then I'm going change color & use bold fonts for fk columns and add some width to join line when selected.
Thanks for your ideas, right now I'm sending a new image of my proposal table figure interface for evaluation. This is a concept donde using Gimp (but almost finished at source code too), time I use same pgAdmin figures but I didn't find a figure for pk,fk columns (with hierarchy), any suggestions for this icon? I used * & O as not null and null symbols as in GQB.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
Regards, Luis.
