Hello M.FAisal,

You can use the DB Visual ARCHITECT to achieve what you need.

  1. Reverse database to ERD (Select Tools | Object Relational Mapping (ORM) | Reverse Database…)

  2. Synchronize the ERD to Class Diagram.

Please feel free to let me know if there are any questions.

Best Regards,
Jick
