Console’s review

What we like

Generates schema visualizations without needing to connect to the DB. Supports major DBMS e.g. ClickHouse, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite. Make edits and export the results. Save and share diagrams (cloud version). You can also self-host.

Tradeoffs

Requires running a several-hundred line script to import the existing structure, which is fine so long as you check what the script is doing.
