Relationshpis are not stored within the database; rather, they are
defined on per-query basis using JOIN clauses. Programs that allow you
to visualize relationships simply store your "notes to self" and help
you build queries based on those notes. So, in my opinion, the best
(and vendor-independent) solution is to simply document your database
design, and not just the relationships, but purpose of tables and
fields as well.
