dbdiagram.io — Free database diagrams designer for analysts & developers 🛠

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!

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

Hi @, It looks like https://www.quickdatabasediagram... app. Maybe as a recommendation I might suggest making the DSL a bit more friendly, easier to write, for example: avoiding the squiggly brackets and having the possibility to define the FK in the tables, something like this: user_id int FK> users.id The autocomplete feature is great. Great product. Regards

Was looking something like this. Hope you will continue improvements

Pros:

simple, fast, register with gmail

Cons:

missing unique key feature

Hope you will continue improvements

Pros:

Slick and user-friendly

Cons:

Missing private diagrams and team working

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)

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.

really love this product! this is great. do you think you can do the same for uml diagrams as well? that would be a game changer thing!

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

It's user-friendlier than other similar tools that I used. Good job!

Pros:

Simple and blazing

Cons:

Lack of some features (e.g, import)

I would like to resize de table boxes, to a better exported images.

Pros:

Straight to the point, easy to use

Cons:

Can't resize de table boxes

As a developer I hate poit-and-click interfaces. This is complete opposite - a simple, intuitive code panel with several examples and quick export to any format is excellent. On-fly table rebuild and debugging is also fabulous. Would recommend to all of my collegues!

Pros:

This is absolutely amazing tool for designing databases, that doesn't require me to drag and drop items all over the canvas.

Cons:

I've tried several alternatives - they are nowhere nere this one.

I created a diagram with 40+ tables on it - the layout becomes an unreadable square-ish grid.

Pros:

* The simplicity. * Making an idea concrete is fast and easy. * Exporting to SQL.

Cons:

* The auto-arrange engine could be improved. * Missing a few important attributes on columns.

Great !

should be openSource or somekind

Canvas background color is burning my eyes

Pros:

RAD db engineering

Cons:

very young, subtle bugs, cant change BACKGROUND-COLOR

Product is pretty cool and it's very young, so can't expect more features but it would be helpful if we can provide - Define default values - Option to add validation schema - Team collaboration

Pros:

Easy to use and clean design

Cons:

Team collaboration and define default values for schema

Can i combine two columns into one while creating model itself. Example :SELECT column1 + column2 AS column3 FROM table; If this can be done, could you tell me the format for the same

Great @thongda , one suggestion: cascade delete

Great product! I was looking something like this for a long time. Better to have unique keys too.

That was my dream ... How much meeting we'he wasted without a tool like that ... Thank you a lot.

Thanks for this app. You're a genius !

Pros:

easy

Cons:

none
