Translations

German French Japanese Korean Portuguese

ChartDB is a web tool that generates DB diagrams by simply pasting the results of a SQL query. Its main security characteristic is that it does not require a direct connection to the database.

How it works

Many schema visualization tools connect directly to the database and fetch the schema. ChartDB instead has the user run a schema collection SQL query and paste the result. That means there is no need to hand database credentials to an external application.

Supported databases

  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • MariaDB
  • SQLite
  • SQL Server

Where data is stored

Imported DB data is stored in the browser’s IndexedDB.

  • Not sent to a backend server
  • Not stored in external storage
  • Can be deleted with the Delete button in the app or by resetting IndexedDB from DevTools
