  • erd

    Translates a plain text description of a relational database schema to a graphical entity-relationship diagram.

    Only tool I've come across is erd but have not personally used it. We use LucidChart for our ERDs at work. They have an API to export to PNG and to create documents within it. The documentation for the API is dense, but it is something I am hoping to take a hack day or two to try to understand and see if I can automate generating and updating our own ERDs.

  • tbls

    Check out tbls. You can create a ERD in one command
