DbSchema visual database design tool with ER diagrams and schema documentation

Core Features
for Team Design & Database Management

From reverse engineering to schema sync and SQL editing, DbSchema helps teams work across the full database lifecycle without switching tools.

Reverse Engineer Existing Schemas

Connect to cloud, remote, or on-premise databases, reverse engineer the schema into your design model, and keep it ready for documentation or deployment.

Design the Schema Visually

Build ER diagrams, focus on the tables that matter, and keep large systems readable with multiple diagrams and visual editing.

Generate Schema Documentation

Publish interactive database documentation with diagrams, comments, and hover details your whole team can browse in any browser.

Explore Related Data

Browse related records across foreign keys or virtual keys, edit rows inline, and understand data in context instead of one table at a time.

Compare and Synchronize Schemas

Compare your design model with live databases and deploy reviewed schema changes across development, test, and production.

Build Queries Visually

Create SQL with drag-and-drop joins, filters, grouping, and ordering, then inspect the generated query before you run it.

Generate Test Data

Populate tables with realistic sample data for development, testing, and demos using reusable generators, patterns, and rules.

Automate Database Tasks

Automate documentation, schema sync, imports, exports, and repeatable operations with Groovy-based scripts.

Logical and Conceptual Design

Start with a database-agnostic model, then transform it into physical schemas tailored to the platforms you support.

Write SQL Faster

Write and run SQL faster with autocomplete, script execution, and an editor built for day-to-day database work.

Monitor Database Operations

Track sessions, locks, users, and resource usage from one workspace for smoother day-to-day database operations.

Generate Migration Scripts

Compare model versions or environments and generate migration scripts before you update the live schema.

Keep Database Design in Git
and Deploy with Confidence

DbSchema stores your work in a dedicated design model, so teams can review schema changes, keep diagrams in Git, and protect production data while collaborating across environments.

Design Offline

Model schemas without a live database connection and keep the project file under version control.

Deploy Across Databases

Reuse one design model across supported databases and keep environments aligned.

SQL Diff Scripts

Review differences and generate SQL diff scripts before applying schema changes.

Migration Scripts

Create migration scripts you can inspect, share, and run across dev, test, and production.
