Top ERDPlus Alternatives

Database modeling is an important part of application creation, especially if the database is large and complex. This ensures that the logic is preserved in the database while adding entities or modifying it, further ensuring the stability of the application or applications connected to the database. ERDPlus is a cloud-based database modeling system that uses different types of diagrams to achieve this. It also allows users to generate SQL from schema diagrams, making database querying easier.

ERDPlus for modeling complex entity relations

One way of making a database simpler is to model the interweb of relationships between each entity and data member of the database. Using ERDPlus, this dynamic relationship can be easily realized without any confusion, regardless of the size of the database. This module offers the user a variety of options while drawing ERDs, broadly including entities, their underlying attributes, and their relationship with other entities. From a drawing point-of-view, the model can include regular and weak entities, several types of attributes having single values, multiple values, depending on values, and more and many types of entity relationships. 

Making schema diagramming easier with ERDPlus

With ERDPlus, users can also create relational schemas easily. It supports various types of structures for this as well, including relational tables, each having certain keys of both primary and foreign types, referential lines to show references from a foreign key to a corresponding primary key, and more. Its methods of operation are also as easy as pointing and clicking. After the creation of the schema diagram, users can quickly realize it into actual relational schemas in a single click. This solves a lot of issues that arrive while writing SQL in traditional ways and is much simpler as well.

Star schema for simple databases

A star schema makes the organization of a database very simple and is especially useful for smaller databases. ERDPlus enables the user to make star schemas with facts and dimensions easily. These diagrams are distinct and very easy to understand, and it can also clearly show referential relationships which are made by foreign keys.
