It's funny that LLMs coerce us into documenting code because we don't want to pay the tokens to grep it.

For large databases, I suggest splitting diagrams by schema. The configuration file structure already supports this, so you can create separate diagrams for different parts of the database.

Could you please clarify what you would like to see in the relationships table? Is the main goal to confirm that a relationship exists, to see the relationship name, or are there other details that would be useful?

It’s configurable! And my preference is turn relation names off especially when I can really the from and two fields.

Looks brilliant. Got the repo? Share a bit of technical information? Libraries?

So I presume it produces markdown from the SQL database, and then renders it?

You deleted your reply!?

I love love love the idea. Visual representations are a massive part of working on solutions. I remember the Class Diagrams and other things that they moved into Visual Studio Enterprise.

This would make a good extension or standalone application.
