Import from your database

File → Import from database. Pick your dialect, copy the read-only query drawDB gives you, run it in the SQL client you already use (psql, Workbench, DBeaver, SSMS…), and paste the result back. drawDB draws the diagram and auto-arranges it.

- Works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite and Oracle
- No connection string: your credentials never leave your machine, and drawDB never sees row data
