WorksCove ERD

What WorksCove ERD is

WorksCove ERD is a web-based database design tool that turns database structures into editable entity-relationship diagrams and exports designs as SQL. It can reverse-engineer schemas from MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server. Designs can be exported as SQL for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, or SQL Server, with data types and constraints mapped to the target dialect.

The product checks schemas against more than 20 validation rules, including naming issues, circular references, and missing indexes. It can compare schema versions and generate migration scripts for differences. For documentation and sharing, it produces table specifications in XLSX, Markdown, and HTML, and ERD exports in PNG and SVG. An AI assistant provides design advice and optimization recommendations. When the assistant is used, schema data and prompts are sent to OpenAI; the privacy policy says identifiable information and project content are not used for separate AI model training.

The Free plan allows three projects and up to 40 tables per project, with PNG exports carrying a watermark. Professional costs $10 a month, and Team costs $20 a month. The paid plans offer a 30-day trial without a credit card. Team adds real-time editing, invitations, seat management, and project-level permissions. WorksCove says the service runs on AWS and encrypts traffic in transit.
