![]() ![]() Many Postgres and other database clients can be used to connect with CockroachDB we’re just highlighting a few of the options we’ve seen our users choose.įinally, note that of the tools listed below, only DBeaver is officially supported by Cockroach Labs. We’re also not listing every single GUI that’ll work with CockroachDB. Most of them have more to offer than just what we’ve listed below. A few quick notesīefore we dive into the tools, we should note that we’re only highlighting a few features for each client. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular ones. Never fear! There are quite a few options for third-party graphic user interface (GUI) tools for CockroachDB. ![]() For example, CockroachDB – a Postgres-compliant distributed SQL database – comes with a powerful SQL shell that you can run right from your console.īut what if you want something a little more visual? Those relationships are stored globally in the repository and can be reused on other diagrams and are part of the data dictionary.You certainly don’t need a GUI to work with a Postgres-compliant database. What is worth mentioning, you can document how to join tables across different databases and even engines. ![]() Manual relationships are displayed as dotted lines. To define new relationship right-click child table, choose Add relation, drag to parent table and left-click. You can create manual relationships between tables (and views) that would be only preserved in Dataedo repository (with no impact on the database). One of the key benefits of diagrams in Dataedo is the ability to supplement table joins that have no foreign keys defined in the database. Or double click entity on the diagram to switch visibility of specific columns: Simply right click entity or blank diagram pane and choose one of the options: You can decide for specific column, table or entire diagram. To add table to the diagram double click item on the list.īy default, only key columns are included in the diagram, but you can decide which columns you'd like to show. You can use search field to find specific table by its name. This list includes all entities (tables and views) in the repository and highlights the ones linked to the ones already on the diagram and the ones assigned to this particular module (module groups tables and other objects). Let's move to ERD tab with diagram pane and a list of available entities (on the right). Now, as we have a module, we can start creating our ER diagram. Enter name and confirm with Enter (to change name press F2). In the repository explorer Modules & ERDs under documentation element, right click and choose Add module/ERD. You can have unlimited number of modules (diagrams) and diagrams can contain entities from entire repository (you can create cross-database diagrams). Modules are objects existing solely in Dataedo repository and are used to organize databases into smaller pieces, document subject areas or create diagrams. Create module for diagramĭiagrams in Dataedo are held in so called "modules". ![]() Now choose PostgreSQL DBMS, provide connection details (more on that here) and follow wizard to import schema to the repository. Click Add documentation and choose Database connection. Now you need to connect to your PostgreSQL database and add new documentation to the repository. To create file repository click Create file repository button on the welcome screen. If you want to get started with this tutorial quickly then try the file first. In shared repository - advised (requires SQL Server).Build definitions and descriptions of all tables and columns in shared repositoryįirst you need to download and install Dataedo on your computer.ĭataedo has two options to store metadata:.Keep all diagrams in shared repository (for all databases and DBMSes).Hide unnecessary information from (columns, joins).Keep diagrams in sync with database schema.Explain and document table relationships and joins, including cross-database.Share diagrams in interactive HTML pages easily.Easily create small manageable diagrams for your databases (even the large and complex ones).Here's a summary of what you can gain using Dataedo for your diagrams: This is a quick tutorial on how to create ER diagram for your existing relational databases with Dataedo in just a couple of minutes. ![]()
