1. Easy Connection with SQLite

Connecting DbSchema to SQLite is straightforward. Unlike other databases, SQLite is file-based, meaning there’s no need for a separate server installation. Simply select your SQLite .db file, and DbSchema will instantly read your schema and display it visually.

Steps to Connect:

1. Open DbSchema and choose 'Connect to Database'.
2. Select SQLite as your database type.
3. Browse your SQLite database file (.db or .sqlite).
4. Click 'Connect', and you're ready to start designing and exploring!

2. Visualizing Database Structure with Diagrams

DbSchema helps you understand your database structure by visually representing tables, columns, and foreign key relationships. The interactive diagram is useful for documentation, analysis, and collaboration.

Features of the Visual Schema:

• Tables and Columns: Each table is displayed with its columns, data types, primary keys, and constraints.
• Foreign Keys & Relationships: Easily identify relationships between tables using foreign key connections.
• Multiple Layouts: Create different diagrams for various sections of your database.
• Editable Schema: Modify table structures directly from the diagram and apply changes to the database.

3. Interactive HTML5 Documentation

DbSchema can generate interactive HTML5 database documentation, making it easy to navigate and understand your database structure without requiring access to the database itself.

What’s Included in the HTML5 Docs?

• Table & Column Details: Click on any table to see its columns, constraints, indexes, and foreign keys.
• Relationships: Explore connections between tables with interactive visual navigation.
• Table & Column Comments: Read and edit comments stored in the database to provide additional context.
• Tags & Metadata: Use tags to categorize tables and fields for better organization.

This feature is especially useful for teams that need a clear, always-updated reference to the database structure.

4. Collaborate with Git Integration

DbSchema makes it easy to track schema changes using Git version control. This is ideal for teams working on database development and maintenance.

Key Benefits:

• Version Control: Track all changes made to the schema, including table modifications, new relationships, and constraints.
• Branching & Merging: Work on separate schema versions and merge changes easily.
• Team Collaboration: Multiple developers can contribute while maintaining a clean change history.
• Rollback Support: Restore previous versions of the schema if needed.

5. Advanced Query Building and SQL Editing

DbSchema provides both a Visual Query Builder and a powerful SQL Editor, making it easy to create and execute queries.

Features:

• Drag-and-Drop Query Building: Construct complex queries visually without writing SQL.
• SQL Autocomplete & Syntax Highlighting: Speed up query writing with suggestions and color-coded syntax.
• Execute Queries in Real-Time: Run queries directly and preview results instantly.
• Save & Reuse Queries: Store frequently used queries for easy access.

This makes SQLite data retrieval more efficient, even for users who are not SQL experts.

6. Schema Synchronization for Keeping Your SQLite Database Updated

With DbSchema, you can compare your schema design with the actual database schema and apply updates quickly.

Key Features:

• Schema Comparison: Identify differences between the design model and the database.
• Modify Tables and Columns: Add, remove, or edit tables, columns, indexes, and constraints.
• Offline Schema Design: Work offline on schema changes and apply them later to the database.
• Generate SQL Scripts: Automatically generate SQL scripts for schema modifications.
