ChartDB is an open‑source, web‑based database diagram editor that visualizes and designs schemas from a single query. It offers AI‑assisted export, real‑time collaboration, and self‑hosted deployment options.
Use cases
- visualize a database schema instantly from a live PostgreSQL or MySQL instance
- collaboratively design and edit ER diagrams with teammates in real time
- generate migration scripts for different SQL dialects using the AI export feature
- embed interactive, up‑to‑date diagrams in documentation, wikis, or internal tools
- keep diagrams synchronized with schema changes via the Syncer CLI or webhooks
When to choose
- You need a quick, zero‑install way to view and edit database schemas in the browser
- Team collaboration and live editing of diagrams are important for your workflow
- You want AI‑driven assistance for generating DDL scripts or detecting missing foreign keys
- You prefer a self‑hosted solution for full data control and customisation
When to avoid
- You require heavy‑weight database administration or automated schema migrations beyond visualization
- Offline or command‑line‑only environments are a must
- Your project needs a native desktop application with deep OS integration
