Bring it with you

Keep the structure you already wrote.

Paste DBML from dbdiagram or your repo, and DrawSQL maps your tables, columns, and foreign keys into an editable ERD. It keeps the parts other tools drop, too: groups, notes, and enums.

Table groups

TableGroup blocks become real canvas groups, not flattened into the layout.

Sticky notes

Standalone Note blocks land on the canvas as sticky notes.

Enums

Enum types map onto every column that uses them, values and all.

drawsql.app/draw

This is what opens

DrawSQL database schema diagram editor showing tables, columns, and foreign key relationships

Now do what text-only can’t

Edit on the canvas

Drag tables, rename fields, add columns. No DBML to hand-edit.

Collaborate on the canvas

Invite the team and shape the same diagram together.

AI on the canvas

Describe a change in plain English. It appears on the diagram.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

DBML is the text format dbdiagram uses to define a schema. You don’t need to know it to use this page. Paste it, and DrawSQL renders it as a diagram you edit by clicking and dragging, no syntax required.
Tables, columns, types, and foreign keys (Ref:), plus table groups and Note blocks as sticky notes.
Yes. Copy your schema out of dbdiagram and paste it here. It’s the same DBML, so tables, groups, and sticky notes carry over. For a fuller side-by-side, see DrawSQL vs dbdiagram.
