Input format is very close to a graphql format. Would suggest modifying it to using that instead of this custom type. I would love to drop in something I've written up for graphql and then edit it in this tool.

Pros:

Slick and user-friendly

Cons:

Doesn't import but uses its own proprietary format

Thanks for your feedback, we are working on the import feature. The advantage of this approach is that it becomes a middle language, so import/export feature for any language could easily developed just by mapping this middle language

Hey guys, dbdiagram.io is built by holistics.io, a Cloud Business Intelligence platform. 1 month ago, our interns were starting to build this little project, our goal is to integrate into the current product, so our users could easily understand their database structure to analyze them. Then we realized that it could potentially become a standalone application to help data analysts/developers design or share their own database diagrams, so we decided to bring it out as a free tool. We keep the tool as simple as we can, and focus on how fast it can bring value to our users. Here are couple nice things about it - Free - Cloud-based, no installation required - Easy to use, 1 second to get started - Don't need to leave your keyboard - Pretty diagram - Can export to PDF/SQL scripts We'd love to contribute more to the data community, looking forward to getting your feedback so we know how to make it better!

I love the simple DSL you have for designing, Exports to multiple database formats are bonus. I wish there was a way to add notes, or an advance exporting where we can customize database engine parameter.

I and my teammate have tried to login to it in chrome and firefox. Still unsucessful. Google accounts dashboard is showing your app in authorised section with homepage https://shareable-diagram.heroku..., maybe thats what causing issue

Pros:

Really simple for brainstorming DB designes because of simple DSL

Cons:

Import is yet to come, I still can't login to it. No provision to visualize triggers and keep notes.

Hi Abhinav, thanks for your feedback, it's really helpful. I just logged in successfully recently, can you login now?

Would be cool to have options to color tables and connections with different colours also the ability to have private projects.

Pros:

Simple, neat, helpful

Cons:

Not private, no custom options available

Awesome idea, thank you! Just added into our backlog, please help us spread it out!

Really great free tool, is the code open source, be keen to contribute to this one?

Like to see the following features

- Nullable columns

- Field Length

- Turn Highlight on/off rather than just on hover

- Ability to change colour of individual elements ( this is neat if you are for example doing a modification you can mark say updated tables orange, new tables green, existing unchanged stay blue

- Nick the little key icon idea from the sadly overpriced QuickDBD ;)

Pros:

Easy and fast to use

Cons:

No import, no ability to mark fields as nullable or not nullable, no ability to specify fieldlength on diagram e.g. varchar(250)
