## What it is
drawDB is a free, browser-based database entity relationship diagram (ERD) editor with SQL generation and import/export. It supports multiple databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, and Oracle, and can be self-hosted via Docker.

## Use cases
- design database schema diagrams online
- generate SQL DDL scripts from an ER diagram
- import existing SQL scripts and visualize the schema
- create database diagrams without creating an account
- plan database migrations visually
- export ER diagrams as SVG images

## When to choose
- you need a quick, no-signup tool to design or visualize database schemas
- you want to generate or reverse-engineer SQL scripts from diagrams
- you need a self-hostable diagram editor for multiple database dialects

## When to avoid
- you need full database administration or query execution, not just schema design
- you require collaborative real-time editing with access control out of the box
- you need a desktop-native modeling tool with advanced enterprise features
