Visio, Process Decomposition Diagrams, and you

D

David R

Huzzah for A-Level Computing Coursework requirements wanting esoteric
diagrams (otherwise y0u = fail).

Diagram format #1: Process Decomposition:

This is a Process Decomposition diagram
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnmaj/html/AJ1BizProc05.gif) found
on MSDN.

Here is a simpler version of the same diagram format
(http://sysdev.ucdavis.edu/WEBADM/deliverables/d3-/d3-3-3/image9.gif) found
on some random website using GIS.

Question #1: How do I do this with Visio?

Diagram format #2: Data Flow:

Here is a DFD (http://web.cs.bgsu.edu/maner/wxsys/dfd.gif) using a format
similar to the one I'm after. How do I do this in Visio?

Diagram format #3: Unknown:

Refer to this MHTML file (http://www.w3bdevil.com/privmisc/Design.mht) I
made in OneNote during class (opens only in IE I'm afraid, but I think FF
has an Extension to handle these), scroll down to "Flow diagrams" (about
half-way) and you'll see the circles with arrows poining to a box with a
zero in the top left-hand corner with labelled arrows.

How do I do this in Visio?

Diagram format #4: Simple database design

I handed in a detailed database diagram earlier, and it was rejected as it
showed "evidence of implementation" and not "evidence of design"; so I need
a really simple database relationship diagram (ironic at how a screenshot of
MS Access's ultra-simple relationship diagram is easily confused for a
design diagram as several classmates's coursework shows). But I don't have a
clue how to use Visio's database design tools (I want a diagram, not all
these "extended properties")

(Basically, something like the diagram at the bottom of that MHTML file)

Danke
