A Haskell CLI utility that converts a plain text description of a relational database schema into a graphical entity-relationship diagram using GraphViz/Dot. It supports multiple output formats including pdf, svg, png, and dot.
Use cases
- generate an ER diagram from a plain text schema file
- visualize relational database entities and relationships
- convert .er text files to pdf or svg diagrams
- document database schema as a diagram
- render entity-relationship diagrams in CI pipelines
When to choose
- you want to version-control your schema diagrams as plain text
- you need reproducible ER diagrams generated via CLI or Docker
- you already use GraphViz and want a text-to-diagram workflow
When to avoid
- you need diagrams generated directly from a live database connection
- you want an interactive GUI diagram editor
- you need support for non-relational (NoSQL) schema modeling
