ERD mostly in text
In LaTeX I can replicate database tables similar to the ones in the diagram below, but I do not want to deal with figuring out how to nicely draw the relation diagrams between the tables. Is there an accepted convention to denote the relations in text. For example, I do not need to put a picture of a key to denote Primary Key—PK would unambiguously do the job. Are there similar conventions to denote the relations between the tables?
