Database modeling in Visio revolves around a Database Model Diagram (DMD).
other
All of the previous versions of Visio used VSD, the proprietary binary-file format.

other
Visio 2013 drops support for writing VDX files in favor of the new VSDX and VSDM file formats, and uses them by default.
other
Created based on Open Packaging Conventions (OPC) standard (ISO 29500, Part 2), a VSDX or VSDM file consists of a group of XML files archived inside a Zip file.
other
VSDX and VSDM files differ only in that VSDM files may contain macros.
other
Since these files are susceptible to macro virus infection, the program enforces strict security on them.
other
While VSD files use LZW-like lossless compression, VDX is not compressed.
other
Hence, a VDX file typically takes up 3 to 5 times more storage.
other
VSDX and VSDM files use the same compression as Zip files.
other
Visio also supports saving files in SVG files, other diagramming files and images.
other
However, images cannot be opened.
other
Visio began as a standalone product produced by Shapeware Corporation; version 1.0 shipped in 1992.
