Working with CDS data structures for non CRM types

Overview:  I am working on a Power Platform solution and I need to use CDS.  Basically, I need to be able to see and edit values within CDS.

Option 1: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) version 18.6 allows connectivity and read-only access.  Here are the instructions.

Option 2:  XrmToolBox has fantastic tools for Dynamics and Power Apps.  There are a lot of individual tools from various contributors.

Here I am using "Entity Relationship Diagram Creator" to look at the relationships between the CDS entities.
