DbSchema
DbSchema is an innovative tool designed for collaborative visual schema design, deployment, and documentation within teams. Its various integrated features, such as data exploration, a visual query editor, and data generator, make it an essential resource for anyone working with databases on a daily basis. Supporting a wide range of both relational and No-SQL databases—including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, MongoDB, MariaDB, Redshift, Snowflake, and Google—DbSchema caters to diverse database needs.
