Database schema changes happen frequently and over long periods of development, often without a clear record of what changed or why. This makes it challenging to trace issues or understand the evolution of your schema.

Introducing Changelog – a powerful new feature within dbdocs that lets you track and view all updates to your database schema. See who made changes, what was updated, and when it happened. With versioning and detailed notes on modifications, you can easily identify the root cause of issues and keep your team informed.

Stay on top of your database changes with Changelog in dbdocs. Read the doc here.

This feature is currently in beta phase and available to all dbdocs users, including free and paid tiers only during this phase.

dbdocs now provides a more direct way to generate DBML code from your database using the db2dbml command. This capability allows you to skip the need for manual drafting or conversion from SQL dumps, keep your documentation process simple, and ensure your DBML reflects the most current database structure.

Is it safe to allow dbdocs CLI to connect to my database? Yes

• Everything runs on your local machine, and the database credentials are not tracked or sent anywhere.
• The database connection is secured.
• The code is open source from the @dbml/cli & @dbml/connector packages and can be checked here.

Supported databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, Snowflake, BigQuery.

Please give this feature a shot and let us know what you think.

Markdown-supported notes are highly useful in helping document readers understand database structures. However, creating great documentation is tough and time-consuming because it necessitates rebuilding the entire project whenever you wish to add a useful explanation to a table or field.

Today, we are pleased to announce our built-in Markdown Editor for table/field notes, which will make documentation writing easier.

Here are some highlights of the feature:

• ✅ Quick and easy way to add helpful descriptions to existing documentation.
• ✅ Inspired-by-WYSIWYG editor, friendly with non-technical users without Markdown syntax knowledge.

This feature is available to all dbdocs users, both free and paid. Feel free to give it a try and let us know what you think.

We're excited to announce the addition of the new Adjustable Relationship Lines feature.

Overlapping relationships make diagrams difficult to read and understand, compromising the clarity of the diagram. This problem is especially severe in large and densely connected diagrams.

This new feature allows users to manually control the relationship lines between tables in their database diagrams, providing a more tailored and intuitive way to organize complex diagrams.

This feature is available to all dbdocs users, including free and paid tiers.

We believe this enhancement will greatly improve your diagramming experience and we look forward to your feedback.
