DrawSQL
Sydney, Australia
What it is
DrawSQL is a browser-based tool for designing, reviewing, and updating database schema diagrams with a team. Paste CREATE TABLE statements to generate a visual layout of tables, columns, and foreign keys, or use DrawSQL AI to create tables and relationships from a description. Its AI can also review a schema and present proposed edits as a diff before they are applied. DrawSQL lists support for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and MariaDB, and exports database DDL, Laravel migrations, and JSON. Diagrams can be shared through public links, embeds, or invited guests, and can include discussion threads. Paid plans add real-time multiplayer editing; private diagrams and AI review also require a paid plan. The free plan allows unlimited public diagrams of up to 15 tables. Paid annual plans listed include Starter at $171 a year, Growth at $531 a year, and Large at $1,790 a year. DrawSQL was founded in 2018 and is based in Sydney, Australia.
