About drawDB

drawDB is a browser-based editor for designing database schemas as entity-relationship diagrams and generating clean SQL DDL for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MariaDB, SQL Server, and Oracle. It can import existing DDL to reverse-engineer diagrams, export DBML or JSON, and detect issues before scripts run. The core editor is free and open source; it suits developers and data modelers sketching or documenting relational databases.
