Any ERD tool for MySQL?

    Help!

    I previously used MySQL Workbench for entity diagrams, but I find it uncomfortable because the left and right menus can't be hidden when opening a diagram. Is there any other tool for this?

    Workbench feels a bit clunky for that. You might like dbdiagram.io or DrawSQL, they’re both more visual and cleaner for ERDs without the clutter. If you’re cool with desktop apps, DBeaver's ERD view is decent and a bit more flexible too.

    If Workbench’s menus annoy you, try something simpler: dbdiagram.io — fast and clean, Visual Paradigm Online — for more serious diagrams, Creately or Miro — if you want drag’n’drop and team collaboration. Personally, I use dbdiagram for quick ER diagrams and Visual Paradigm for more complex ones
