Schema Design

Database schema design tool for source-aware teams.

ERD Studio supports the schema design workflow from first draft to review: create tables, organize categories, inspect relationships, save DBML locally, and share read-only diagrams.

Use Cases

What this workflow is for.

01

Plan a database model before implementation.

02

Group tables by product domain or feature area.

03

Use relationship highlights to inspect internal and external dependencies.

04

Save DBML files in browser storage or a user-selected local directory.

Workflow

How ERD Studio supports it.

Model tables by domain

Use category colors and TableGroup-based organization to make larger schemas easier to understand.

Inspect foreign key structure

Relationship views help reviewers understand which tables depend on each other before database changes are shipped.

Keep files under user control

Use browser storage for quick work or directory storage when DBML files should be created and updated on disk.
