Documentation, ERD diagram for internal Medisoft tables

I'm using ODBC to interact with the underlying Advantage database, and am looking for more information on what the internal tables are and how they are structured (table relationships, primary keys, etc). As far as documentation goes, I've only found a single un-detailed PDF file ( https://www.azcomp.com/wp-content/uploa ... -Guide.pdf ). Are there any other resources I could look to? I could figure things out by hand, but it'd take a long time with over 100 tables.

On a side note, it's impossible to create views in the database without AdsSys access, right?

That is about as good of info as we have on the Medisoft database tables. As far as I know creating tables and views require an ADSSYS login. You know about ARC32 right? That will allow you to view and browse the contents of data dictionary and all the data.

Yes, I am using ARC32. Looking at the tables more closely, it seems that there's no referential information in the database itself, so I'm guessing that's all tracked internally in Medisoft. Thank you for the help!

If you get Medisoft Reports Pro that has referential information built into the report builder.
