d3-dag VS schemaspy

It seems that d3-dag implements crossing edge minimization, coordinate assignment, and produces neat DAGs. But it’s implemented in JavaScript.

An alternative to dagre-d3 is d3-dag: https://github.com/erikbrinkman/d3-dag

I've had good success with cytoscapejs as well, integrating with react so the graph will animate layout on transition. I use elk, which is apparently superior to sugiyama (the algorithm graphviz uses for force-directed dag layouts).

I am using something like this https://github.com/erikbrinkman/d3-dag

You might try https://schemaspy.org/ - it generates a website with ER diagrams that only go one or two relationships out, but they have clickable table names to get to the next diagram

I had the same problem when i started my job. I used SchemaSpy to generate an html with all of metadata and ERD diagrams as a reference point. Then i used dbt to connect to the database and used dbt to document the table and column that i have worked on. It takes time to document but it's worth it if you company don't have your database documented yet.

SchemaSpy is a standalone application that connects to the database, scans its tables and schemas, and generated nicely composed HTML documentation. You can check out an example sample by this link but I'm showing you just one screenshot to clarify my point.

I like https://schemaspy.org/

I like the diagrams and reports SchemaSpy generates. If you are using a DBMS that allows setting comments to tables, views, columns (and other objects), those will be included and that makes those reports even more helpful

https://schemaspy.org/ creates nice looking diagrams.
