-
Hi everyone!
We’re excited to share the latest updates to ChartDB, our self-hosted, open-source tool for visualizing and designing database diagrams - built as a free and flexible alternative to tools like dbdiagram[.]io, DrawSQL, and DBeaver's diagram feature.
Why ChartDB?
Self-hosted – Full control, deployable anywhere via Docker
Open-source – Actively developed and maintained by the community
No AI/API required – Deterministic SQL export with no external dependencies
Modern & Fast – Built with React + Monaco Editor, optimized for performance
Multi-DB support – PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, SQLite, ClickHouse, and now Cloudflare D1Latest Updates (v1.8.0 → v1.10.0)
Cloudflare D1 Support - Import schemas via Wrangler CLI
Deterministic DDL Export - Replaced AI-based export with native SQL generation
Sidebar for Diagram Objects - Quickly navigate tables, fields, indexes, and FKs
Better Canvas UX - Right-click to create FKs, table drag-and-drop, better visibility controls
Internationalization - Added full French & Ukrainian supportWhat’s Next
- Git integration for diagram versioning
- SQL import support for PostgreSQL (via DDL script)
- AI-powered table relationship detection
- More database support and collaboration tools

This is really cool and I will definitely try it out! Am I missing something or is there really no contributors license agreement?

Any way of having this study an existing database (or dump thereof) and build the graph? I have an oracle database that nobody understands, built by someone else, and I thought something like this could help..

I've never used the tool, but I'm guessing that your Oracle database can create an SQL dump of its schema which presumably is how this tool ingests a database to chart.
