DB Designer

What is DB Designer?

Simple user interface

Clean, non-intrusive user interface makes DB Designer fast and ridiculously easy to use, with all the features you really need.

User-friendly interface for modeling

The DB Designer ui is specifically designed to be simple and user-friendly. The database design tool has more features than business alternatives and can be used anywhere in any browser. This makes DB Designer fast and reliable, regardless of the size of your database.

Fast and reliable database design tool

The online designer has all the features you really need. Features like Mini-Map for quick navigation, keyboard shortcuts, instant save with history, Copy and Paste, Undo and Redo, Table Cloning, Auto Layout, Notes and Comments make database design fun and save a lot of time.

Reverse and advanced engineer

Reduce errors and save time. Import an existing database or start from scratch. Generate a script for all major database engines with one click.

Import an existing database

If you already have a script, import it into DB Designer for reverse engineering. We currently support MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle for reverse engineering.

SQL scriptgeneration

Use our export feature for advanced engineering. At any time, you can generate a SQL script for MySQL, MS SQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQLite databases.

Safe and secure

Security is our top priority and we use some of the most advanced methods available to protect our users. DB Designer is configured as a command-line Java application that runs on your system.

Collaboration and team sharing

Invite your team and share access (Owner, Editors, Viewers) with the team member's email. Work on the model at the same time. Use comments/live chat to collaborate with your team.

Invite team members privately

Team collaboration allows you to work remotely with all stakeholders on your team on the same project. Share your database templates in particular by simply providing the email of team members and clicking a button. You can share the template with your team at three different access levels: Owner, Editor, and Viewer. The owner can change the access level at any time.

Public sharing

Quickly create and share projects with your audience. The public sharing feature allows the user to create a universal link, anyone with that link can view the project and create their own copy. Ideal for bloggers and academic users.

Views

Customize your project view using preview modes. Mini-Map for fast navigation. Automatic sorting and layout. Change the type and color of the line. Options to show/hide default values, foreign key icons, non-null icon, auto-increment icon.

Change language

DB Designer has been translated into over 26 languages, including Spanish, Dutch, Chinese, Russian, Portuguese and more. Click View in the main menu and select "Options" from the drop-down menu to change the default language.

Different views

You can Show/Hide Mini-Map and Grid in the background. Users can also Show/Hide sidebar, which shows project properties, version history, and comments for a full-screen view. Change your line type preference from Bezier to Cornered. Advanced options allow you to change the line color and the Show/Hide to Foreign Key, Auto Increment, Non-Null or Show Default Values icons. For large projects, use the "Sort items" option to automatically sort and organize your diagram.

Advanced export options

In addition to generating SQL script for all major database engines, you can also export your database in image (PNG) or PDF. You can also create a public view link for your schema.

Generate PNG or PDF

Users can export their schema diagram in PDF or PNG format at any time for sharing, presentations, printing, or any other purpose.
