Ever wondered what the tables in your SQLite database look like, and how they are related to each other? Generate a diagram of your SQLite database with one command. You can run this on any system that has Docker installed.
On a Linux system, run a command like:
docker run \
--mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/home/schcrwlr \
--rm -it \
schemacrawler/schemacrawler \
/opt/schemacrawler/bin/schemacrawler.sh \
--server=sqlite \
--database=chinook-database-2.0.1.sqlite \
--info-level=standard \
--command=schema \
--output-file=output.png
The command assumes that a SQLite database called "chinook-database-2.0.1.sqlite" is in your current directory. A file called "output.png" will be generated with the database schema, including columns, data-types, and foreign key relationships.
If you are using PowerShell on Windows, replace the trailing backslash on each line with a back-tick, and map the current directory differently. Run this command:
docker run `
--mount type=bind,source="${PWD}",target=/home/schcrwlr `
--rm -it `
schemacrawler/schemacrawler `
/opt/schemacrawler/bin/schemacrawler.sh `
--server=sqlite `
--database=chinook-database-2.0.1.sqlite `
--info-level=standard `
--command=schema `
--output-file=output.png
You can generate PDF files, and other types of output too. Go through the SchemaCrawler tutorials on Katacoda to learn more SchemaCrawler commands.
