Show HN: Outerbase Studio – Open-Source Database GUI
Two more tools I really enjoy:
- https://www.beekeeperstudio.io/ - electron based and I find it really simple to use.
- https://github.com/k1LoW/tbls - generate markdown docs from databases (similar to DbVisualizer, but it's a static binary and you can just push the md files - see https://github.com/bbkane/envelope/tree/master/dbdoc for example)
- Tbls, a CI-friendly database documentation tool written in Go

Graphviz: Open-source graph visualization software
Autogenerated database documentation is often pretty hit and miss but tbls[1] does a pretty good job in that space. Especially when you comment on your tables, fields, views, functions etc (which is a good habit anyway!) the output is quite useful

In-database comments combined with something like https://github.com/k1LoW/tbls make for very cheap database documentation.
No affiliation with tbls except that I'm a big fan
