Summarize in table format Tool, Target User, Supported Databases, Key Features, Pros, Cons for this article:
01. HeidiSQL
This free and open-source software is one of the most popular data modeling tools for MariaDB and MySQL worldwide. It also supports MS SQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite database systems.
Some features are: Connecting to servers via command line, scheduling events, generating SQL exports, exporting directly from one database or server to another, bulk editing, an SQL syntax editor, exporting tables in various formats, and managing user privileges.
What Users Say: Reviews from popular review sites indicate that people generally love how convenient HeidiSQL is to use, especially the direct server to server exports feature. However, it has many complaints of being unstable and crashing very often.
02. Archi
It is an open-source conceptual and physical data modeling tool that uses the ArchiMate modeling language. This language supports the analysis and visualization of various complex database systems.
It has a clean interface for creating views and a hints view that describes relationships to you if you get stuck. Its visualizer displays model elements in a radial-tree diagram that is easy to update. Version history, a sketch view for drafting model designs, and a canvas modeling toolkit for customizing reusable templates are some of its other features. This open-source data modeling tool works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
What Users Say: Although Archi is not very popular, G2 reviews show that users love are its minimalistic interface, its ability to automatically suggest relationships between objects, ease of use, and the export to excel capability. Common criticism for Archi is often directed at its clumsy directory setup which makes finding certain things sometimes harder.
03. ArgoUML
A Ph.D. student at UC Irvine developed this open-source Unified Modeling Language (UML) modeling tool in 1998. The UML is a general-purpose modeling language used to visualize the design of object-oriented software systems. ArgoUML supports all UML 1.4 diagrams.
The tool has an extended module - DB-UML - that offers more diagramming options for relational database schemas. ArgoUML, which is available in 10 different languages including German and French, requires minimal setup and runs directly in your browser. It also has other features - exporting diagrams in various formats, advanced diagram editing, reverse engineering, and generating SQL create statements from a model.
A particularly noteworthy feature is its built-in tool for design review and suggestions.
What Users Say: A common criticism of this tool, which users find very inconvenient, is its lack of an undo feature. Without an undo button, you’d have to save every change in a project or start over once you make a mistake.
04. PgModeler
PgModeler is an open-source database modeler that supports multiple PostgreSQL databases.
With its intuitive interface, it serves not only as a modeling tool but also provides a functional database server administration module. It supports GNU/Linux, Windows, and macOS.
This data modeling tool has a command-line interface to automate processes and allows model export in five formats. It supports reverse engineering by creating models of existing databases, while also offers constant model validation to minimize errors in a model. Other features include the ability to customize most of its features and automatic restoration of unfinished work in the event of unexpected quit.
What Users Say: While users think it is generally an incredible project, PgModeler is known to crash unexpectedly. As a partial solution to this problem, the latest releases come with a crash handler that generates reports for users to find and fix the bugs that caused the crash.
05. MySQL Workbench
MySQL Workbench is more than just a visual database design tool; it also integrates database administration, performance monitoring, and database migration. This free tool works with only MySQL Community Edition.
It has features like ER Diagramming, a drag-and-drop modeling interface, reverse engineering from existing databases, and generating SQL scripts from models. Its advanced SQL editor offers code completion, SSH connection, and Unicode support options.
MySQL Workbench has a lot of community support within the MySQL community, and it is now the second most downloaded product from the MySQL website. In addition to this, users also like the readily available customer support.
What Users Say: Some users frown upon its unintuitive interface which has too many cluttered features making it difficult to use. MySQL workbench is reported to be unstable occasionally and cannot handle large CSV imports sometimes.
06. Umbrello
Umbrello is a free and open-source tool for creating and editing UML diagrams, and it is available for Linux, Windows, and macOS.
It can create most UML standard diagrams, and most of its features depend on UML standards. Users can either import them from code in about seven different languages or build them and generate the code in Umbrello. Its user interface has a work area for editing and viewing model diagrams. These diagrams are created as XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) files and can be grouped based on user preference.
What Users Say: Umbrello users like its ease of use and the ability to generate code from UML class diagrams.
07. ModelSphere
Open ModelSphere is an open-source UML modeling tool that supports all forms of data models - conceptual, logical, and physical. It allows for the conversion of models from one type to another.
Like many other data modeling tools, it has reverse engineering capabilities. It also supports forward engineering - generating SQL scripts from models and integrating them with an existing database. This tool works with all database management systems and offers special plug-ins for some of them.
What Users Say: Most users find Open ModelSphere to be a good modeling tool, although it is not as slick as other tools. It’s also reported to be hard to set up as it relies on a particular version of Java.
08. DBDesigner4
Like some of the tools mentioned earlier, DBDesigner 4 integrates database design, data modeling, and maintenance in one environment. This open-source visual database design system was primarily designed for MySQL database but has now been succeeded by MySQL Workbench.
Features include Model-To-Database synchronization, reverse engineering, SQL query builder, SQL command history, ability to save models within a database, and exporting output as an image. Version control is available but only when using database storage.
09. Database Deployment Manager
Database Deployment Manager (DDM) is an open-source database design tool that allows users - typically programmers - to create models and diagrams. It is also a database management software that enables users to create and maintain databases and create ER diagrams between tables.
DDM supports reverse engineering, has a unique visual query builder, and generates documentation for all activities. Other features include diagram export in different formats, database design validation, and version history.
10. DBDesigner
DBDesigner is an online database modeling tool that allows users to design database schema without writing any SQL code. Its simple and intuitive user interface has features that simplify the modeling process. DBDesigner is currently available in over 26 languages that users can choose from a drop-down menu. It has a free plan that offers the creation of two models with ten tables per model.
This modeling tool, like many others, supports reverse engineering but only for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle databases at the moment. It also has forward engineering capabilities that allow users to create SQL scripts from scratch. The user interface has several keyboard shortcuts, instant saves, commenting, and other one-click options. Its collaboration feature with three different access levels allows team members to work on the same model at the same time. There is also the option to create public links to share projects with other interested parties.
What Users Say: Users can generate SQL scripts for MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQLite databases and export schema diagrams in PDF or PNG formats. All these features are included in both free and paid plans. DBDesigner users seem to like the product well enough.
11. Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler
Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler is a free and powerful database design tool that can connect to any supported Oracle Database. It provides a platform for its users to work with different model types, and it can be used in local and cloud environments.
Its features include reverse and forward engineering, DDL code generation, ER Diagram creation, model formatting and validation, and in-built reporting. Its open-source source code management tool - Subversion - facilitates version control and collaborative capabilities by providing multi-user access to the same project at the same time.
The data modeler is hardly reviewed separately, being an extension of the SQL Developer.
12. DbSchema
DbSchema is a database management and design tool that supports multiple database types and allows users to create logical and physical model designs. It has both free and pro editions; however, DbSchema free has fewer features than the paid version.
The free version offers reverse engineering capabilities, an intuitive interface for creating schema diagrams, and an SQL editor with text auto-completion. For the Pro edition, users enjoy several additional features. Some of them are the ability to generate interactive HTML documentation, offline model designing, visual query builder, collaborative capabilities, and customizable database reports.
What Users Say: DbSchema has reviews and 5-star ratings on popular online technology marketplaces - Capterra and G2. Most users advocate for its smart query builder and comprehensive documentation. However, as it is not yet as popular as other tools, new users might find it hard to find an active user community.
13. ERBuilder
This data modeling tool is tailored specifically for developers to create ER Diagrams for (physical) database designs. ERBuilder supports many database platforms but only functions on Windows Operating Systems.
Although it has paid options, it also offers a free version for educational and other non-commercial uses.
The free edition includes many noteworthy features such as an intuitive user interface, data model validation, exporting models as images, support for Relational and Crow's Foot notation, syntax highlighting, HTML model documentation, and support for some databases.
Reverse engineering, collaboration and version control with Git, database synchronization, and populating databases with test data are some features that are exclusive to the paid editions.
