Most of us still design databases like this:

Start writing SQL

Try to imagine relationships in our head

Fix mistakes after running migrations

Update diagrams if we remember

That gap between design and SQL causes a lot of pain:

Broken relationships

Confusing schemas

Outdated ER diagrams

Slow onboarding

So while building Vizora, I decided to flip the workflow.

Introducing the Vizora Designer 🧠🧩

Instead of starting with SQL, you start with structure.

Vizora’s Designer lets you:

Create tables visually

Add fields with types (UUID, INT, TEXT, etc.)

Define primary keys and constraints

Connect relationships on a canvas

See everything update in real time

And once the schema makes sense…

➡️ Convert the diagram into SQL instantly ➡️ Copy it ➡️ Run it in your database

The diagram becomes the source of truth. SQL becomes the output, not the guesswork.

Why visual-first design actually helps

When you design visually:

You see relationships immediately

You catch missing fields or wrong types early

You can review schemas without reading 200 lines of SQL

You reduce rework before migrations hit production

This is especially useful when:

You’re designing a schema from scratch

You’re iterating fast in a startup

You’re explaining a database to someone new

You want diagrams that don’t go stale

No more:

“The diagram doesn’t match the SQL anymore.”

What Vizora does differently

Vizora is not just a diagram tool.

The canvas is editable

The schema is structured

SQL is generated, not manually written

Diagrams and code never drift

You design once — everything stays in sync.

Current workflow

Open the Designer

Create tables and relationships visually

Review the schema on the canvas

Click Export SQL

Copy and use it anywhere

Simple, predictable, and developer-friendly.

Still building in public

Vizora is still evolving, and I’m shaping it based on real developer problems:

Schema understanding

Documentation drift

Onboarding friction

Trust in tooling

If you’ve ever struggled with database design or outdated diagrams, I’d love your feedback.
