Visualize SQL CREATE TABLE or DBML as an ERD with table cards, primary-key badges, foreign-key arrows, and per-table detail panels

Database Schema Visualizer takes a `CREATE TABLE` SQL dump or a DBML document and renders it as an Entity-Relationship Diagram in a node-link canvas. Each table is a card with column rows, primary-key badges, and foreign-key arrows automatically routed via dagre.
It is intentionally a viewer / quick-render tool — not a full schema editor. Use it for code reviews, ramp-ups onto an unfamiliar schema, or sharing a snapshot with a stakeholder.

Fix: Confirm the tool input requirements and paste the correct type of data.
Missing fields or partial content can block processing or produce weak results.
Fix: Provide the full required input before running the tool.
Sample or placeholder values can lead to output that looks valid but is not ready for real use.
Fix: Replace placeholders with your actual values before relying on the result.
dbdiagram.io is a full editor with collaboration and project management. This tool is a one-shot viewer — paste a schema, get an ERD, export, move on. We support importing the same DBML format so you can move between the two without rewriting.
ANSI SQL `CREATE TABLE` syntax with vendor extensions for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. The parser is intentionally lenient — it skips unrecognised clauses rather than failing, so a `pg_dump --schema-only` output usually visualizes without edits.
Yes. The parser walks the input statement-by-statement and groups all `CREATE TABLE` plus `ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT FOREIGN KEY` into a single schema model. Standalone indexes show up in the per-table panel.
Comfortably up to ~100 tables. Beyond that dagre layout slows down and the canvas becomes hard to navigate; consider splitting the schema by domain.
Not yet. The viewer is scoped to tables and FK relationships. Views and materialized views are detected and listed in a small sidebar but not laid out on the canvas.
No. SQL parsing, DBML parsing, and rendering are all client-side. Nothing leaves your browser.
