The All-in-One Database Design & Management Tool | DbSchema 2026
It’s almost 2026 - database work shouldn’t slow you down. You should be able to connect, visualize, document, and share your databases in minutes. That’s exactly what DbSchema was built to do.
Let’s look at the main features that make DbSchema a complete environment for database professionals - from design to collaboration.
Visual Design & Schema Modeling
Every great database starts with a clear structure. DbSchema makes it easy to design and understand schemas visually, using diagrams instead of endless SQL scripts.
You can create new tables, define foreign keys, and organize layouts for complex databases.
All objects are synchronized with your live database when you’re ready to deploy, but you can also work offline in your model (.dbs file).
DbSchema supports both relational and NoSQL systems, so you can model anything from PostgreSQL to MongoDB.
Interactive ER Diagrams
Explore tables and relationships instantly.Data Tools: Explore, Edit, and Generate Data
DbSchema includes built-in tools that help you see and manage data without writing SQL.
Relational Data Explorer
Follow foreign keys visually and open related records in connected tabs. It’s the easiest way to understand real data relationships in your schema.
Visual Query Builder
Build complex queries by selecting tables and columns from the diagram. DbSchema automatically creates the SQL code, which you can edit and run.
Random Data Generator
Need to test performance or validate queries? Generate realistic test data with just a few clicks - names, dates, addresses, and more. This helps you experiment safely without touching production data.
Schema Documentation: Always Updated
Documentation is often the most neglected part of database development - and the hardest to keep up to date. DbSchema can generate complete documentation automatically in multiple formats:
- HTML5 Interactive Docs – browse diagrams, tables, and columns through a web interface
- PDF or Markdown – perfect for sharing or archiving
- Searchable and linked – find tables, columns, or references instantly
You can publish the documentation on your internal site so your entire team, including non-technical members, can explore the database structure visually.
Collaborative Design with Git Integration
In 2026, database design is a team effort. DbSchema’s Git integration helps teams collaborate safely and transparently.
Each database model is stored as a readable XML .dbs file - perfect for version control.
You can commit changes, create branches, and merge updates the same way developers handle source code.
DbSchema also lets you compare models or synchronize schema differences, so you can review changes before applying them to a live database.
This means fewer surprises, easier teamwork, and a clean history of every structural change.
Schema Synchronization and Comparison
If you manage multiple environments - development, testing, and production - keeping them aligned is crucial. DbSchema helps you do this through schema comparison and synchronization tools.
You can:
- Compare your local model with a database or another model file
- Preview all changes in a clear diff view
- Apply only the changes you approve
This feature also works across different database systems, so you can migrate structures from MySQL to PostgreSQL or vice versa.

Automation & Scripting
For repetitive or scheduled tasks, DbSchema supports automation scripts written in Groovy. You can automate schema exports, backups, synchronization, or documentation generation - saving hours on manual work.
This makes DbSchema not just a visual tool, but also a powerful backend assistant for large or dynamic projects.
Flexible Connectivity
DbSchema uses standard JDBC drivers, which means it connects to virtually any database: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, Snowflake, Cassandra, MongoDB, SQLite, and many others.
You can manage multiple connections at once, compare schemas between them, or deploy changes directly. Whether your database is hosted locally, on-premise, or in the cloud, DbSchema adapts to your setup.
Designed for the Way You Work in 2026
DbSchema combines everything you need into one integrated tool:
- Visual design for clarity
- Powerful data tools for everyday operations
- Automatic documentation for transparency
- Git collaboration for teamwork
- Cross-environment synchronization for safety
In a world where databases grow more complex every year, DbSchema helps you stay efficient, organized, and confident.
