It does look VERY similar, but I think they tried to make the language a bit more terse. As a said is another comment, I think the slightly additional structure is actually better.

Compare the examples in the post against the official Mermaid examples[0]. The syntax seems much simpler. 0. https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/entityRelationshipDiagram.html

This looks fantastic, exactly what I needed last time I worked with DBs and could not find. Hope to be using it soon.

Thanks! I was writing a FastAPI/SQLAlchemy+SQLModel/Rocketry app this week and dreaded documenting my model relationships. That said, I see a few SQLAlchemy extensions and…

I’m a tech writer and love the idea of “drawing” diagram using the markup. Definitively will try to use it by my another docs project. Thank you.

I like the markup language and the app looks nice but I just can't comfortably dump database schemas into random web apps.

Intellectual property: it represents what kinds of data you maintain, their naming, and their relation. That’s valuable on its own and also points to what your software does.…

1. Why not just use SQL? 2. You should really work on error handling. I went to /app and tried changing the name of the CustomerID column, and nothing happened. I tried changing…

I'm using Firefox. On my larger screen, the toast did appear, but it was outside of the scrolled-in view. On my smaller screen, the layout just broke and the toast is not visible.

Ah, that's nice to hear. This is one of my frustrations with Mermaid - trying to work out he magical correct ordering of entities to render something that isn't too chaotic.

did you consider letting the input be just sql ddl rather than yet another layer of ddl?

Created this python script to export mysql to this format. Used chatgpt so expect weird code. it works! but dies a little with many tables :-) code: https://paste.rs/1ZHp7.py3…

I love tools like this (text to diagram) and tend to use mermaid for most things. I also really like draw.io which includes a gui and has integration with GitHub to save diagrams…

> Generate DDL directly generate SQL statements to create your database tables. Looks like it's capable of turning a diagram to SQL too? That's neat! For those that are…

why no dark modeeee ahh

We've been using https://dbdiagram.io/, which also has an open-source markup language: https://github.com/holistics/dbml

Every engineer I know have been using DBML for a while. Did they fail their market research ? Edit: Damn, it really look like they were copying dbdiagram.io, down to the FK…

I'm not too familiar with ER-diagrams -- how does this compare to Mermaid? https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/entityRelationshipDiagram.html

I've used Mermaid, partly because it integrates well in both GitHub and Notion. It's fine, quite featureful really, but the lack of any ability to control layout properly makes…

Cool tool. My favorite tool for text to model / model to SQL is: https://app.quickdatabasediagrams.com/

I use ERDLab Check it out at https://app.erdlab.io/designer/new Has a lot more cool features for better visual representation like color tagging and search. I also like the…

From what I can tell, a lot of these tools seem OK for capturing relatively simple database designs, but at least "look" fairly inadequate for more robust needs. This makes sense…
