#52Such an old problem solved very elegantly. Congrats. Remember the days of MySQL Workbench and how clunky it was.
> Remember the days of MySQL Workbench and how clunky it was I loved MySQL Workbench, but it had its faults. Is there any equivalent alternative today? I've dreamed about an app that fuses MySQL Workbench + real-time collaboration, so I can share the same workspace with others in the team and see what others are are up to and collaborate on things.
VSC with dbt Fusion, or Datagrip maybe? I used SQL workbench once and it felt like a time capsule. It was impossible to navigate without mouse.

#53Nice, but there is no LICENSE file in the github: https://github.com/royalbhati/sqltoerdiagram

#54100/10 for mobile usability. Panning, Zooming, selecting and moving was so seamless I thought I was tripping out.
The only thing is that it zooms in on safari mobile when pressing a text field, but that problem is unanimous

#55Its there already as dbdiagram, what's new?

What's new is that this isn't "dbdiagram" - it's good to have alternatives and even competing products.

#57Have only had a quick look at it, but it looks very nicely done! Out of interest, did you use AI to assist with development? If yes, what percentage of the code would you say is AI generated vs conventional?
Given that it has only two commits, where the first one is just "done", I would guess a substantial amount.
Yes but I have also coworkers who implement a full feature then remember to commit it, so we cant know for sure if its just that.

#58The tool looks very cool! But IMO you can't get an ER diagram from SQL since entities are fundamentally different from tables. They are certainly very similar, but SQL alone doesn't give you enough information to create an ER diagram. That's not to say that the tool is useless or that diagrams of this sort are unhelpful. I'll admit I'm being pedantic and others will probably disagree.

one man’s simplicity is another man’s headache

To make parent’s point more exact: from Chen’s definition, these ER diagrams derived from SQL are the “physical” (most low-level) diagrams, you cannot recreate the “logic” or “conceptual” diagrams from it.
I guess nowadays few people care about this difference.

#60I'm using https://github.com/ondras/wwwsqldesigner and I think that's worth taking it in account for comparison.
The same Ondras from V8CGI? I loved that project, one of the first server side JS implementations. Perhaps I was the only follower? Hey, Ondřej, loved your work!
