DbSchema Vertica ER Diagram Designer
DbSchema is a Vertica ER diagram database designer and query tool. Using DbSchema, you can design and document Vertica databases while connected to the database server or without a connection.
Next, you can share the design with the team using Git. The design model loaded in DbSchema can be compared with the database, synchronization scripts can be generated, and the schema can be deployed to any database server.
