Wow @dbdiagram. You just saved me a month of work. My head just exploded. I went from 300 unindexed fields to a new schema and Excel migration workbook with field mapping (using Python). What a day.

Discovered @dbdiagram when looking into this. It's a really neat tool for visualizing a database schema with minimal pseudo code.

If your not using @dbdiagram then what the heck are you using? Hands down my favorite tool in my tool belt.

Dominic Gozza, Director of Engineering

@dbdiagram is so cool. Tried looking for an alternative plugin that works on Markdown but this is the best so far that I could find.

really enjoying using dbdiagram.io for building and iterating on ERD's. should have taken this more seriously early in my career. back in those days it was: 1. write sql 2. run sql

OMG!!! So you’re telling me I can just paste my SQL into dbdiagram.io and it produces a visual representation of my database including the relationships??????

You can use dbdiagram.io. Great software.

Came across dbdiagram.io — a tool for defining DB structure via text. Declare tables, relationships, constraints — get ER diagrams instantly. Great for designing apps or documenting existing DBs. Runs in browser, supports export. I'm digging it!

Just wrapped up designing a relational schema using dbdiagram.io – a super handy tool for visualizing and structuring databases! Loving how easy it is to go from SQL code ➝ ER diagram with dbdiagram.io. Excited to keep building more projects around database design and querying!

Working with data models without visual support is a nightmare. I keep coming across data models with no documentation or a decent ERD. Which ends up being torture when trying to use them for data analysis. It’s way more complicated, slower, and you’ll make silly mistakes. If you’ve been there too, tools like dbdiagram can make your life much easier. They let you generate ERDs quickly and interactively. Modify relationships, adjust tables, export everything to SQL in seconds... It’s super useful both for designing new tables and creating clear documentation.

Just found a gem for database design: dbdiagram.io I recently stumbled across this tool while trying to mock up a quick ER diagram—and honestly, I wish I had found it sooner. I’ve tried a bunch of alternatives over the years, but dbdiagram.io is by far the most straightforward and effective tool I’ve used for designing schemas.

Service really served its purpose well - it was convenient to prepare the diagram, and my auditorium easily understood the concept I was trying to communicate. I spent less time and produced better quality artifact.

Bartek Borkowski, Software Engineer

The simplicity and distraction-free, minimal UI. It’s been a fantastic tool for the initial stages of data model design, where the goal is to focus on entities and relationships without getting lost in unnecessary details. It’s rare to find a tool that truly understands this need for simplicity.

dbdiagram is great! Chat GPT recommended it when I prompted it that I needed to redesign a database for a hobby project.

The main benefit is the ability to enhance practice, organization, and clarification of database documentation. It allows users and customer to clearly structure their database information, making it easier to understand and access. This helps streamline collaboration among team members and improves overall workflow efficiency.

I have been using dbdiagram.io for about 4 years now, and by far it is my favorite database diagramming tool on the market. dbml is an incredible idea that I absolutely love.

Draw Entity-Relationship Diagrams, Painlessly 😎 A free, simple tool to draw ER diagrams by just writing code. Designed for developers and data analysts.

I have been using DbDiagram's DBML(Database Markup Language) feature for a while now, and it’s truly amazing. Instead of manually designing ER diagrams, you can simply write code in DBML, and it generates the diagrams for you. It's very efficient and saves a lot of time. If you learn the DBML syntax, you can easily create these diagrams just by typing the code. Highly recommend giving it a try!

I am a salesman, bbdd consultant, product owner and project manager, I did not know any tool to document the database and it seems very good. I wanted something similar to swagger for the database and it fits me very well.

I use dbdiagram to help me analyze and pre-plan the project development. I think that this app is Godly good, easy to handle, intuitively understandable and very good asset at presenting my ideas even for non-developers.

But now life finally got easier. Thanks to DBML — and yes, dbdiagram.io, please check it out, trust me… you’ll fall in love with it the same way I did. DBML fixes all of that. It’s code. It’s visual. It’s version-controlled. Everyone sees the same thing. Everyone finally understands what’s about to break — before it actually breaks.
