CLUSTER DATABASE-DESIGN-DESKTOP · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2009-09-22

ER diagram database design tools

This cluster consists of desktop applications for visually designing database schemas, including ER diagram drawing for relational databases and NoSQL schema modeling with reverse engineering and script generation. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only three dated entries exist before the index start, so the cluster's timeline appears to predate the index or its members are largely undated. Traction leaders by activity signal are Moon Modeler, dbmodel-qt4, and dbmodel, each with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
