Since for each table you are able to know which table depends on it and which it references, there must be something feasible

Aditya, 

How about an option to drag any/all related items when you drag one that is tied to other elements?

Just a thought.

Hi Didier,

Since we can drop one table at a time, it is not possible to keep relations without the referred table.
One possible solution could be to drag the referred table first and then the referring table. But, this is not yet implemented. You can raise a feature request here https://redmine.postgresql.org/projects/pgadmin4/issues/new if you think this solution will do.

Hello all,

Using PGAdmin 4 v 6.12 in desktop mode, and I am starting to use the ERD tool and I have a question and a feature request (not too sure where to put this one) 

Question :Drag and drop tables from browser tree to the diagram : PK are reverse engineered but FKs are left behind - How can I manage this? I was hoping that by using drap/drop of several tables the links would transfert over but I can't seem to multi select in the browser tree


Feature request : I would love to be able to display only table name/ Primary key field and any field involved in a fk. when just showing / explaining a database to a fellow worker showing just the relations & relationships goes a long way to quickly grasp the workings of a db. And it also allows to have a compact view which printed serves as a reminder.

Thanks for making and keeping PgAdmin the excellent product that it is

Didier
