It can be difficult to understand a complex schema when we can't save out the structure, but even when the structure is able to be saved between sessions, the far tangents can be problematic when multiple things point to things across the other side of the database.
Describe the solution
Inside of the table edit view, show a temporary table graph of the table, and then any directly assocaited other tables, be it by record fields (including options if possible) and by edge table relates, enabling a quick reference to see what is connected, in focus entirely of the current table, without any secondary hops. Though adding an option for 1-2 hops of context could be useful, akin to how SchemaSpy does. https://github.com/schemaspy/schemaspy
IE, from one of my old databases, selecting the config table, with auto docs and relationship docs generated through SchemaSpy:
Alternate Solution
Provide a toggle, with a toggle invert across the entire list (so you can select only 2 tables for example without needing to toggle on / toggle off the rest) so that we can choose to show only a select group of tables in the table graph, and potentially save this as a graph view so that it can be opened later.
