Ask HN: Is there an application similar to graphviz but for database schemas?

[pure_simplicity]

I'm looking for an application that is like graphviz/dot, but for database schema visualization instead of graph visualization. Is there such an application? (preferably open source)

I'd like to use it with markdown to document code and application architecture, such that the schema definition can be text that is under version control and the generated image can be part of the rendered document.

Hmm not sure it’s what you want but the ERD diagramming in DBeaver is awesome.

Thanks for that! It's not what I'm looking for, but it's good to know about. I really need it to be a CLI application that takes text as in put and produces an image as output.

One of these, perhaps: https://github.com/mgramin/awesome-db-tools#diagrams

This link definitely has some useful stuff. DBML and tbls specifically look very promising. ERAlchemy is also great.

Thanks!
