Schema overview

A major new feature of Ninext 2.3.0: a dedicated tab now allows you to visualize your entire database in the form of a graphical schema.

• Global View of Tables and Fields

All your tables are displayed with their fields, offering an immediate reading of the overall structure of the database.

• Visualization of Relationships

Links and references between tables are represented graphically, facilitating the understanding of dependencies and the overall architecture.

• Free Schema Organization

Tables can be moved by drag-and-drop to organize the schema according to your logic or work context. Rearrange the order of the links to untangle the nodes.

Use the Command (or Alt) key to select multiple tables and then move them.

Change the side of the links' attachment to improve the diagram's visibility.

• Zoom and Navigation

Zoom tools allow displaying more or fewer details, depending on whether you want an overview or a precise read.

• Screenshot Copy

The displayed result can be copied to the clipboard or downloaded in png format.

Why it’s useful:

• Quickly understand the structure of a complex database,
• document an application,
• identify orphan tables or missing relationships,
• present the architecture of a database to third parties.

Accessible from the Schema tab in the Ninext window.
