Topic: Database Schema Diagram / ERD

Hi to all,


Does anybody know which tool is included in MVD to show the Database Diagram? It looks like an ER Diagram and I could use such a tool.


If nobody knows, has anybody contact to Dmitry? Maybe he can answer the question (I have tried via support email but haven't got a response.


If somebody has a good alternative ER Diagram Designer he can also answwer here.


Open Source or Freeware prefered.


Thank you.

I think he's asking on the third party software/library used by MVD to create DB diagram automatically.


Are you perhaps just looking for a library to be embedded to an application teco?

Or you just needed a tool? If so, then perhaps this list would be nice to try https://www.guru99.com/free-database-di … tools.html


I'm using Navicat Premium(this one's not on that list and is paid thou) on managing my databases and it can do this on its Reverse Database to Model. It also allows you to create a model, then sync it to database or export to sql, etc.

Navicat also has their Data Modeler w/ free version, the Essentials but with limited to just creating your model/diagram, then saving it to image or pdf. Exporting it to sql or connecting to database will need a subscription.

Hi all,

If somebody has a good alternative ER Diagram Designer he can also answwer here.

I would recommend trying http://draw.io/ which is interestingly last on the list in the link that brian provided.  It is useful for other things besides ERDs too.  It is easy to remember the name, it provides a web interface and also a downloadable software version (if preferred).


It doesn't do any automatic stuff, so one of the others in that list may be better suited for you.


Thanks for sharing the link too brian.

I am looking for a tool. Currently I am using MVD only to design a database and to check the design with the embedded ER Diagram.


I am working mostly offline on Database Design, so I can not use cloud solutions. I do not trust some hotel or public open wifi connections, etc. I am working currently only approx. 40% from my office. The other times i am working when I am traveling to customers, etc.


The ER Diagram is currently the only interesting point of MVD for me.
