DrawSQL

The database schema diagram tool where teams design, review, and evolve together.

Visit DrawSQL

DrawSQL turns SQL into visual schema diagrams that teams can edit together. It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and MariaDB, with import from CREATE TABLE statements and export to SQL DDL, Laravel migrations, and JSON. The product centers on a shared canvas with table groups, notes, discussions, version history, and an AI copilot that works directly on the schema.
