Hi all, I'm currently building a library of database schema that developers can use to design database schema faster. https://www.dbschemalibrary.com https://www.dbschemalibrary.com I find myself spending days to design a database schema on every new project. The motivation behind this is that developers can use the library as reference or to copy paste from existing schemas. The hope is that those examples will lead to better design decisions in a shorter amount of time. Would love to hear if this is something you'll find useful. Thanks!

This is exactly what I want. (I can't believe it's not a thing already!?) Oh wait... "Get early access"? So it's not an open library? Anyway, check out David Hay's "Data Models: A Metadata Map", it's basically a big catalog of all the data models you'll need already worked out. https://books.google.com/books/about/Data_Model_Patterns_A_Metadata_Map.html?id=YxDBaWj9itkC https://books.google.com/books/about/Data_Model_Patterns_A_M...

  It went offline earlier this year, but <https://web.archive.org/web/20220330034214/http://www.databaseanswers.org/data_models/ https://web.archive.org/web/20220330034214/http://www.databa...> is something similar too. Diagrams not copy-pastable DDL, but at least for me the value is in seeing how other people have approached similar modeling problems, not in copying down their solutions -- so diagrams are perfect.
