Documenting Transbase Schemas Visually

Build a clearer workflow for Transbase: reverse engineer existing schemas into interactive ER diagrams, model changes visually, and generate reviewed SQL scripts before deployment.

DbSchema is built for visual modeling, schema documentation, and deployment. Keep an offline model in Git, collaborate across teams, and publish documentation that developers, analysts, and stakeholders can navigate in minutes.

Visual Schema Tools for Industrial and Embedded Transbase Deployments

Transbase is a high-performance SQL database developed by Transaction Software, a Munich-based company, and is deployed in industrial control systems, embedded applications, and data-intensive server environments where reliability and a compact footprint are priorities. DbSchema connects to Transbase via its JDBC driver, renders the SQL schema as an interactive diagram, and provides SQL editing tools for a database typically administered through command-line interfaces or proprietary Transbase utilities.

Connect to Transbase and Visualize the Schema

DbSchema reads the Transbase catalog and displays tables, columns, data types, and relationships in the diagram canvas. For industrial Transbase deployments where the schema has grown incrementally over many years, the visual diagram provides a structured overview that is otherwise difficult to obtain from command-line tools alone.

Write and Execute Transbase SQL Queries

DbSchema's SQL editor accepts Transbase's SQL dialect, executes statements against the server, and presents result sets inline. This is useful for verifying data correctness in industrial control applications, diagnosing query performance issues, and running ad-hoc analysis without deploying a separate Transbase client tool.

Generate Transbase Schema Documentation

DbSchema's documentation generator exports the Transbase schema as a navigable HTML report including table definitions, column metadata, constraints, and relationship diagrams. For embedded and industrial Transbase deployments with limited documentation, this report provides a durable reference for maintenance engineers and system integrators. Because the export is a self-contained HTML5 package, it can be handed to colleagues who need to review the schema but do not have Transbase or DbSchema installed themselves.

How to Connect DbSchema to Transbase

A Transbase connection needs its driver registered manually before the first connect:

Download and install DbSchema.
Download the Transbase JDBC driver from the Transaction Software website and register it in DbSchema's driver manager, using driver class transbase.jdbc.Driver.
Create a new connection with host and the default port 2024, giving the JDBC URL jdbc:transbase://host:2024/dbname.
Connect. DbSchema reads the catalog and renders tables, columns, data types, and relationships on the diagram canvas.

The Transbase server must be running and the target database must already exist before connecting — Transbase does not create databases automatically on first connection.

Transbase Deployments Benefit from DbSchema

Visualize Transbase schemas in ER diagrams for industrial applications with no prior documentation.
Run SQL queries interactively without deploying a separate Transbase client application.
Generate HTML schema reports for maintenance engineers and system integrators.
Compare schema versions across Transbase instances to track undocumented schema drift.
Design schema modifications visually and apply the generated DDL to the Transbase server.

Long-lived Transbase deployments rarely have up-to-date diagrams. Download DbSchema for free and reverse-engineer your Transbase catalog into a diagram your team can finally read.

Teams working with Transbase often use these engines too. Explore dedicated guides and JDBC setup for each.
