Overview

ChartDB is a specialized tool designed to simplify the creation, editing, and sharing of database schema diagrams.

This approach enhances security and streamlines the documentation process, making complex database layouts accessible to a wider audience within an organization.

The tool functions as an intuitive diagram editor, allowing users to define tables, columns, data types, and relationships visually.
