From Code to Architecture
Visualizing a database is the best way to spot normalization issues and redundant data. Instead of drawing boxes manually, we use Reverse Engineering to build the diagram from your code.
### The Power of DDL
Data Definition Language (DDL) contains all the metadata needed to build a relationship graph. Our Database Design Studio specifically looks for:
- PRIMARY KEY definitions for node identification.
- REFERENCES clauses to draw relationship lines.
- NOT NULL constraints to indicate required fields.
### Documentation at Scale
Every architect knows that documentation becomes stale. By keeping your ERD "in code" and generating the visual as needed, you ensure that your documentation always matches your production database. Simply paste your updated SQL into the studio before every sprint review to keep stakeholders aligned.
