- Data Types: Toggle the datatype information on or off
- Weak Tables: Tables where the primary key contains foreign keys the edges are drawn rounded.
- Weak Relations: Foreign keys which are not mandatory are drawn with a dotted line.
- Subtypes: Child tables can contain a subtype of a parent table, a small arc is drawn at the side of the parent table.
- Type Expressions can be turned on or off
