DbWrench

DbWrench is a super handy tool that lets you create and tweak your databases without any hassle. Since it's built on Java, it works on different platforms, making it really versatile.

Easy Database Design

With DbWrench’s main window, you can use lots of cool features like layout algorithms and ER diagrams. Plus, you can add ER annotations to help visually edit your designs. This means you can work directly in the diagram instead of digging through tree nodes or fiddling with property sheets.

Flexible Notations & Export Options

You have the option to use different ER notation styles like Bachman, Information Engineering, and Barker. And when you're done designing, you can export your diagrams as Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files!

Navigating Large Diagrams

The Navigator window is another great feature that makes handling big diagrams a breeze. It helps you find what you're looking for quickly so you can focus on building your database.

Reverse Engineering Made Simple

If you're working with existing databases, DbWrench lets you reverse engineer them easily. Just choose the database and hit the Reverse Engineer button—it's that simple!

No More Hand Coding SQL DDL

This tool also takes care of generating SQL DDL for applying changes to your server without needing to write any SQL code by hand. How cool is that?

Compare Databases with Ease

The Database Compare feature lets you quickly see differences between your design and what's on the server. If changes are made directly on the server, DbWrench can even help sync those back into your design!

Built-in SQL Editor Features

The SQL editor has some neat tools like syntax highlighting and code completion to help you write better queries faster. You can even create shortcuts for common commands or entity names! Plus, there are column templates to make adding standard columns super easy.

Generate Documentation Effortlessly

Finally, DbWrench helps generate HTML documentation for your database design and ensures naming conventions are followed through its Auto Naming feature.
