WWW SQL Designer review

Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

WWW SQL Designer is a browser-based application for drawing entity-relationship designs and editing database tables and fields. It suits solo users and small teams who want to map a schema without installing a desktop application, especially when a simple ER workflow and SQL output are enough. The project is open source and offers a free plan, so it is also a fit for users who prefer to run a schema tool locally or in Docker.

The core workflow covers creating tables and fields, managing keys, and connecting tables with foreign-key relationships. Designs can be saved and loaded, and existing database schemas can be imported. For moving a design toward implementation, the product exports it as a SQL script. These capabilities make it useful for basic forward and reverse schema work, but the described emphasis is on drawing and editing rather than a deeper modeling environment. Teams that need a broader set of export formats or more advanced design workflows should compare alternatives before choosing it.

Deployment flexibility is a practical distinction: WWW SQL Designer is browser-based, while local installation and Docker are also options. Save and load tasks can be client-side, with server-side tasks available optionally. The repository lists version 2.7 as released in 2012, so teams evaluating it for an ongoing, actively maintained workflow should weigh that release history. Choose it for free, straightforward ER design, schema import, and SQL script export; look elsewhere if your decision depends on broader engine support, advanced modeling, or clear recent release activity.

WWW SQL Designer pros and cons

• Where it wins
  • Draw ER designs and edit tables, fields, keys, and foreign-key links
  • Import existing schemas and export designs as SQL scripts
  • Run in a browser, locally, or in Docker
• Where it doesn't
  • The workflow is relatively basic for more involved modeling needs
  • Export is described as SQL scripts, not a range of formats
  • The repository lists version 2.7 from 2012; current release activity is unclear
