#### Database diagram editor and SQL generator

drawDB is a browser-based database schema editor. Design tables and
relationships visually, import SQL or DBML, and export diagrams and SQL
for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MariaDB, SQL Server and other databases.

**Getting started**

Open <http://127.0.0.1:3000/editor> after installation. The service starts
automatically. Diagrams are saved in your browser, not in the snap's
data directory. Export diagrams to keep a backup.

To open it to your network:

```
sudo snap set drawdb address=0.0.0.0:3000
```

Sharing and remote version history require the optional upstream backend,
which is not included. Some editor assets require an internet connection.

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install drawDB

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://kubuntu.org/) or later, including [Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu) and [Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

Versions of Kubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14-04-lts) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-15-10) don’t include *snap* by default, but *snap* can be installed from the command line as follows:
