Database schema diagrams visualizer and data modeling tool.

About ChartDB

ChartDB is a database diagram editor that turns an existing schema into a visual ERD with a single import query. It supports MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and SQLite, lets teams collaborate on diagrams in real time, tracks schema changes and version history, and exports clean DDL scripts or shareable documentation. A hosted cloud version and a free self-hosted option are both available.
