How to Visualize a Database Schema

Use the DB Schema Visualizer to turn CREATE TABLE statements into a visual table diagram with relationship indicators.

Tool Used

DB Schema Visualizer

Open tool
1

Paste your CREATE TABLE statements

Copy one or more CREATE TABLE SQL statements from your database schema file or migration and paste them into the input panel.

2

Read the table cards

Each table renders as a card showing column names, data types, and badges for primary keys (PK) and foreign keys (FK), giving you a quick overview of the schema structure.

3

Follow relationship indicators

Foreign key relationships are shown as reference links between tables, helping you visualize how the tables relate without drawing a diagram manually.

4

Export as JSON

Click 'Copy as JSON' to export the parsed schema as a structured object, useful for generating documentation, ORMs, or API type definitions.

5

Add tables incrementally

Append additional CREATE TABLE statements to the input and the visualization updates automatically — you do not need to re-paste the entire schema each time.

All done!

You are ready to use DB Schema Visualizer like a pro.
