Show HN: Draw Database Diagrams Using Code (DSL) – Dbdiagram.io
- huy 8y agoOP here, let me share a bit on the backstory of this. 1 odd month ago, our interns were starting to build this little project, our goal is to integrate into the current product (a cloud-based BI), so our users could easily understand their database structure to analyze them. After a few weeks, 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. The feedback so far from our early users has been really great, so we decided to launch here on HN. Please give it a try and share with us your feedback!

- tmdcmnr 8y agoCool project dude! I tend to use plantUML for this use case but I might actually give this a try. A small suggestion is that you should show the relation between two table (EG: one - many) by default. It's really annoying to hover on the small line to see the actual relation.
- huy 8y agoThanks for the feedback on the showing of relations by default!
- ccakes 8y agoLooks good, will give it a go. One bit of feedback, the viewport in Safari is busted - https://imgur.com/a/ksfCCtK https://imgur.com/a/ksfCCtK What kind of import formats are you planning to support? DDL, dot, UML?
- huy 8y agoThanks! We will support DDL of individual SQL databases (postgres, mysql, etc). I.e. you can copy your CREATE TABLE statements here and we will translate them.
