Documenting Transbase Schemas Visually

DbSchema connects over JDBC to Transbase — Transaction Software's compact SQL database for industrial and embedded systems — and turns a catalog usually managed from the command line into diagrams, SQL tooling, and shareable documentation.

Run Transbase SQL without a separate client tool
Hand system integrators an HTML schema report

DbSchema visualizing a Transbase catalog as an ER diagram

Trusted by teams at

Industrial Systems Outlive
the Engineers Who Built Them

A Transbase database inside a control system or embedded product often runs for decades, its schema growing release by release while the original designers move on. What remains is a catalog only the command line can see.

DbSchema reverse-engineers that catalog into a structured overview — the diagram the maintenance team never got — and keeps it current with every connect.

Recover, Query & Change
Transbase Schemas with Confidence

From undocumented catalog to reviewed DDL, in one desktop tool.

Reverse engineer a Transbase catalog into an ER diagram

The Catalog, Drawn Out

Tables, columns, data types, and relationships load from the Transbase catalog onto the diagram canvas — a structured view CLI utilities cannot give you.

Run Transbase SQL queries from the DbSchema SQL editor

Ad-Hoc SQL for the Factory Floor

Execute statements in Transbase's SQL dialect and read result sets inline — verify data correctness or chase a performance issue without installing another client.

Preview Transbase DDL before applying it

Change a Running System Carefully

Design modifications visually, then read the generated DDL before applying it to the Transbase server — caution that pays off on production machinery.

Decades of Schema Drift,
Tracked in a Repository

Commit the design model to Git and each installation's schema state becomes comparable: diff versions, review changes before a maintenance window, and know exactly which revision runs at which site.

Transbase Connection Notes

Download the Transbase JDBC driver from the Transaction Software website and register it in DbSchema's driver manager with driver class transbase.jdbc.Driver. The server listens on port 2024 by default, giving the JDBC URL jdbc:transbase://host:2024/dbname.

The target database must already exist and the server must be running — Transbase does not create databases on first connection. Registration steps are on the Transbase JDBC driver page.
