A Developer's Guide to the AI SQL Documentation Generator

The AI SQL Documentation Generator is a massive time-saver for developers and database administrators. It automatically creates comprehensive, human-readable documentation directly from your SQL schema, helping to keep your team aligned and onboard new members quickly.

Features

• AI-Powered Analysis: The tool uses a large language model to parse your CREATE TABLE statements and understand the structure, columns, types, constraints, and relationships in your database.
• Dual-Format Output: It generates two essential types of documentation from a single input:
  • Markdown Documentation: A detailed, well-formatted Markdown document. For each table, it includes a description, a list of columns with their types and constraints, and a summary of all indexes.
  • Mermaid ERD: An Entity-Relationship Diagram written in Mermaid syntax. This provides a visual representation of your schema, clearly showing how tables are related through foreign keys.
• Multi-Dialect Support: The tool can interpret schema syntax from various SQL dialects like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and others.

How to Use

1. Provide Your Schema: Paste one or more CREATE TABLE statements into the "SQL Schema" editor. The more complete your schema (including keys and indexes), the better the documentation will be.
2. Select Your Dialect: Choose the appropriate SQL dialect from the dropdown menu.
3. Generate: Click the "Generate Documentation" button.
4. Review the Results:
   • Documentation Tab: Here you'll find the complete Markdown documentation. You can copy this and use it in your project's README.md, wiki, or other documentation systems.
   • ER Diagram Tab: This tab displays the visual ERD rendered from the generated Mermaid syntax. This is perfect for presentations or for getting a high-level overview of your database structure.
