What ChartDB is
ChartDB is a database schema visualisation and modelling tool. It turns an existing database into a visual diagram from a single query, supports collaborative modelling, and offers AI-driven DDL script generation.
It is aimed at database work rather than general diagramming.
What you can do with it
- Visualise a database schema quickly
- See how tables relate
- Work on modelling with teammates
- Generate DDL scripts
Who it is for
- Backend engineers
- Data engineers and architects
- Analysts who need to understand a schema
What to watch out for
- Running a query against a production database needs care: use a read-only account and avoid peak times
- Generated DDL must be reviewed before it runs anywhere important
- It is not a database operations platform: permissions, performance, backups and online changes belong in your client or ops tooling
- Diagrams show structure, not data quality
Pros & cons
✓ What we like

- Collaboration built in
- DDL generation included
! What to watch out for
- Not an operations tool
- Query access needs care
- DDL needs review
