A discussion about database schema modeling tools highlights options for creating, visualizing, and generating SQL from diagrams, with opinions on their usability.

Why it matters: Visualizing schemas can streamline database design and communication among developers and stakeholders.

The big picture: Tools like dbdiagram.io, drawdb, and yEd cater to various preferences in diagram notation and export formats.

The other side: Some users find relationship diagrams less useful when structures are either obvious or too complex to clarify.

Commenters say: Opinions vary on diagram utility; many share favorite tools and wish for clearer notation like numerical cardinalities.
