About three weeks ago, I introduced ChartDB to this community and received a great response with tons of positive feedback and feature requests. Thank you for the amazing support!
recap of ChartDB:
For those new to ChartDB, it simplifies database design and visualization, similar to tools like DBeaver, dbdiagram, and DrawSQL, but is completely open-source and self-hosted.
Instant Schema Import - Import your database schema with just one query.
AI-Powered DDL Export - Generate scripts for easy database migration.
Broad Database Support - Works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MSSQL, ClickHouse, and more.
Customizable ER Diagrams - Visualize your database structure as needed.
Open-Source & Self-Hostable - Free, flexible, and transparent.
What’s New in v1.20 (2024-11-17)
Sharing Capabilities - Import and export diagrams easily for better collaboration.
Duplicate table: duplicate table from the canvas and sidebar.
Snap to Grid - Toggle or hold shift to precisely position elements.
New Templates Added - Now includes templates for Laravel, Django, Twitter, and more.
Docker Build Support - Includes OpenAI key support for Docker builds.
Bug Fixes & Improvements:
Optimized Bundle Size - Leaner builds for faster loading times.
Internationalization (i18n) - Added support for Korean, Simplified Chinese, Russian, French, and more.
Improved UX - Better interactions for editing diagram titles and smoother SQL export.
What’s Next?
More sharing and collaboration enhancements.
Expanded templates and language support.
New deployment options and compatibility for more databases.
We’re building ChartDB hand-in-hand with this community and contributors. Your feedback drives our progress, and we’d love to hear more! Thank you to everybody who contributed!
But to be honest, what I and many devs I speak with need these days is some data explorer tool, like Jailer data browser, that gives you kind of the diagram that you do, but with a subset of concrete rows in the database and how they link together.

Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
