About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

drawDB is a browser-based database editor for arranging tables, columns, and relationships as ER diagrams and converting schemas to and from SQL, with no account required for core use.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Design tables, columns, and relationships visually

The canvas editor represents database schemas as ER diagrams with explicit relationships.

Sources: [2][3]

Move between visual models, SQL, and migrations

Existing SQL can be imported into diagrams, while designs can be exported as SQL or migration output.

Sources: [2][3]

For reviewing database schemas visually rather than only as code

It is useful for schema design, education, architecture reviews, and understanding existing databases.

Sources: [2]

Sharing requires a separate server component

The editor itself can run locally or statically, but collaborative file sharing depends on drawdb-server and additional configuration.

Supplemental curator note

The core editor works directly in the browser without an account. Sharing is optional and requires the separate `drawdb-server` repository, so local schema design and collaborative deployment can be evaluated separately.
