SQL Graphviz

Maintenance

SQL Graphviz is a small python 3 script that generates a Graphviz visualization of a SQL schema dump.

Dependencies

SQL Graphviz relies on pyparsing to grok the schema dump. Ubuntu users should install using:

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyparsing

while CheeseShop frequenters should install with pip:

$ sudo pip3 install pyparsing

Arch linux users can install the dependencies like this:

$ sudo pacman -S python-pyparsing

Alternatively, using pipenv as follows (ensure it is installed first):

$ pipenv install
$ pipenv shell

Usage

Using PostgreSQL, for example, to generate as a PNG file:

$ pg_dump --schema-only dbname | python sql_graphviz.py | dot -Tpng > graph.png

The program will accept a named file, or if omitted as above, will take from stdin. Output to SVG:

$ pg_dump --schema-only dbname > dump.sql
$ python sql_graphviz.py dump.sql > graph.dot
$ dot -Tsvg graph.dot > graph.svg

Example

SVG
