Design and Manage Cockroach Databases Visually with DbSchema
DbSchema lets you design, manage, and document Cockroach databases. Create ER diagrams, define tables and columns, and generate SQL scripts - with or without a live database connection.
Use Git to share the design, compare it with the Cockroach database, and deploy changes. DbSchema also includes a data editor, query builder, and HTML5 documentation - everything you need in one tool.
