Design, Query & Sync
Your Database

Watch short demos of the core features — connect any database, build SQL queries visually, design ER diagrams, and keep schemas in sync across environments.

Create SQL Queries with Ease

The Visual Query Builder simplifies the process of creating SQL queries through intuitive filters, ordering, and grouping options.

Connect to Any Database

Connect to 70+ databases in a few clicks, whether they run on your machine, in the cloud, or behind a firewall.

Write and Run SQL

Write SQL faster with suggestions for your tables and columns, run it instantly, and save the results as CSV, JSON, or Excel.

Browse and Edit Data

Explore your data across related tables, then filter, sort, and edit records right where you see them.

Reverse Engineer Databases

Turn an existing database into an ER diagram, choosing the parts you need, and keep the diagram up to date as the database changes.

Generate Test Data

Fill your tables with realistic sample data, as many rows as you need, to test your application before real data arrives.

Import Data from Files

Load CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML files into new or existing tables, without writing a line of code.

Visual ER Diagram Design

Grow your ER diagram by pulling in related tables along their foreign keys, and watch your schema take shape.

Logical Data Modeling

Sketch entities and their relationships before you pick a database, then turn the design into tables for the database you choose.

Physical Data Modeling

Refine each table for the database it will live in: data types, keys, indexes, and constraints.

Generate HTML5 Documentation

Publish your schema as interactive HTML5 or PDF documentation that the whole team can browse, diagrams and comments included.

Version Control Integration

Work on the same design as a team through Git: share changes, resolve conflicts side by side, and see how the model evolved.

Compare and Synchronize Schemas

Compare your design with a live database, and decide for every difference which side to update.

Generate Deployment Scripts

Get a ready-to-run SQL script for your changes, and review it before it touches the database.

Automation Scripts

Automate repetitive work with scripts that run inside DbSchema, such as regenerating the documentation of your schema.

Collaborate on database design without sharing live data.

A SQL Client Shows You the Database
DbSchema Gives You the Model

Your schema lives in a design model file, not only in the server. That one difference is what lets you work offline, review changes like code, and decide exactly what reaches production.

Design Without a Connection

Model and change the schema on a plane, in a meeting, or before the database exists.

Review It Like Code

Branch, diff, and pull-request the schema in Git, in the same workflow as the rest of your project.

See Every Change as SQL First

Read the exact statements a change will run before anything touches the database.

Deploy Deliberately

Move the same reviewed change through development, test, and production, one approval at a time.

Design the Schema

Software Developers

Find the table you need in a schema you didn't write. DbSchema gives you a visual map of every table, column, and relationship — so you can trace joins, spot missing keys, and write queries without guessing. All offline, against any database.

  • Find the table you need in seconds
  • Get the join right the first time
  • Keep the schema in your Git workflow

Structure the Design

Database Architects

Design your schema once at the logical level, then generate the matching physical DDL for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and more — without maintaining separate scripts. Naming rules, type mappings, and comments stay consistent across every target.

  • Model once, generate every physical schema
  • Consistent naming across every engine
  • Logical and physical stay in sync

Explore & Visualize the Data

Data Analysts

Trace foreign-key relationships across dozens of tables with a visual join builder. Point, click, filter — the query writes itself. You explore real data without waiting on engineers or digging through documentation.

  • Follow relationships across tables
  • Build the query visually, no SQL needed
  • Explore without asking for the schema

Optimize Database Operations

Database Administrators

Compare a live database against the approved design and see exactly what drift has occurred — added columns, missing indexes, renamed tables. Every ALTER statement is shown in plain SQL before you run it, so you stay in control.

  • Compare production with what was approved
  • Review every statement before it runs
  • Roll out the same change everywhere

Read the Documentation

Managers

Generate self-contained HTML documentation that any stakeholder can open in a browser. No database connection, no special tool — just a browsable, searchable map of every table, column, relationship, and comment. Share it with the team or drop it into Confluence.

  • HTML docs anyone can open
  • See exactly what the app stores
  • No schema knowledge required

Learn SQL

Students

Explore a real-world database schema instead of toy examples. See how foreign keys connect tables, how joins actually work, and why indexes matter. Use the Visual Query Builder to try SQL without memorizing syntax — then read the generated queries to learn.

  • Explore a real schema end to end
  • Learn keys, joins and relationships
  • Practice SQL on concrete examples

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about DbSchema, how it models your database, and how it fits into your workflow.

DbSchema works with MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MariaDB, SQLite, Snowflake, MongoDB, Redshift, BigQuery and more — most through JDBC, with dedicated native connectors for the main engines. No — you don't need the database running to start modeling.
There is a fully functional free trial, and the community edition is free for non-commercial use. Paid plans add collaboration in the cloud, versioned history, and priority support for teams.
Yes. Your schema lives in a design model file, not only in the server. That lets you work offline, on a plane, or before the database even exists — and deploy the model when you're ready.
Absolutely. DbSchema uses plain text model files that work well with Git — branch, diff, and pull-request your schema in the same workflow as the rest of the project.
Every change is shown as SQL before anything touches the database. You choose what runs, review the exact statements, and move the same reviewed change through development, test, and production.
