What is DrawSQL?

DrawSQL lets you draw entity relationship diagrams for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and MariaDB, or paste CREATE TABLE statements to generate them automatically. The free plan includes unlimited public diagrams of up to 15 tables, while private diagrams, exports and real-time collaboration need a paid plan.

Pros

  • Clean, readable diagrams
  • Imports SQL automatically
  • Library of real-world schema templates

Cons

  • Free diagrams are public only
  • Exports need a paid plan

Who should use DrawSQL

Developers planning or documenting a database who want a clear visual diagram.

Who may not need it
