Visio Standard vs. Professional edition

[Kali]

Hi,

I need to diagram relationships from MS SQL Server 2k
database. That's all, nothing else.
1. Can I use Visio Standard edition, or must I have
Professional?

2. Is there a free trial available before purchase?

Thanks

you might consider the 2003 beta trial, it is the
professional version....

al, thank you.

So I understand that I do need Professional version for
database modeling, not the Standard, correct?
