drawDB is a free, open‑source online database diagram editor that lets you design ER diagrams and generate SQL for many dialects. It runs in the browser and can also be self‑hosted via Docker.

Use cases

• Create and edit database ER diagrams directly in the browser
• Generate SQL DDL scripts from visual schema designs
• Import existing SQL scripts to reverse‑engineer diagrams
• Collaborate in real‑time with teammates on database designs
• Store diagrams locally or sync them to the cloud for team access
• Use the AI assistant to draft tables and relationships from natural language
• Export diagrams as JSON, DBML, or image files

When to choose

• You need a quick, no‑install tool for designing database schemas
• You want real‑time collaboration without setting up complex infrastructure
• You prefer an open‑source solution that can be self‑hosted
• You work with multiple SQL dialects and need easy import/export

When to avoid

• You require deep database modeling features like advanced constraints or version control beyond basic migrations
• You need a desktop‑only application with offline‑first guarantees beyond browser IndexedDB
• You need extensive integration with CI/CD pipelines or automated schema migrations
