Frequently Asked Questions

tablur.io is an AI-powered database schema visualization tool. It parses your ORM source code (Prisma, TypeORM, Django, SQLAlchemy, and more), generates interactive ER diagrams, and lets you edit schemas visually or with natural language AI commands. It works as both a VS Code extension and a web application.

Yes! The Free plan is free forever and includes 3 ORM parsers (Prisma, TypeORM, Drizzle), PNG export, 3 projects, and the VS Code extension. Paid plans unlock all 8 parsers, AI chat, more projects and snapshots, cloud sync, and team collaboration features.

No. You can open the web editor and start designing schemas immediately without signing up. An account is only needed if you want to save schemas to the cloud, sync with VS Code, or use team collaboration features.

The extension watches your project files for ORM schemas (e.g., schema.prisma, *.entity.ts). It auto-detects the ORM framework and programming language, parses your entities, and renders an interactive ER diagram directly inside VS Code. Changes you make in the diagram sync back to your code in real time.

The extension supports Prisma, TypeORM, Drizzle, Sequelize, SQLAlchemy, Django, Hibernate, and Entity Framework. It auto-detects which ORM you are using based on file patterns and code signatures — zero configuration required.

Yes. tablur.io supports bidirectional sync. When you edit the diagram (add a column, rename an entity, create a relation), your source code updates automatically. And when you edit your code, the diagram refreshes on save via a file watcher.

Absolutely. The web app lets you create schemas visually from the ground up. Add tables, define columns and types, create relationships, and use AI chat to build entities from natural language descriptions — no codebase needed.

Yes. You can paste ORM source code (Prisma, TypeORM, etc.) or raw SQL DDL directly into the web editor. tablur.io parses it and generates the interactive diagram automatically.

Yes. Schemas can be synced between the VS Code extension and the web application. Start designing in your editor, continue in the browser, or vice versa. This feature is available on Pro and Team plans.

tablur.io supports exporting to SQL DDL (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MSSQL), ORM source code, PNG images, SVG, Mermaid diagrams, DBML, PlantUML, JSON, and auto-generated schema documentation.

Yes. The source code generator can produce Prisma schema files, TypeORM entity classes, Drizzle schemas, and more from your visual diagram. This is great for bootstrapping a new project or migrating between ORMs.

The AI assistant lets you modify schemas with natural language. Commands like "add a users table with email and role" or "create a one-to-many between users and posts" are parsed and applied instantly. Powered by cloud AI on Pro and Team plans.

AI chat is available on Pro and Team plans via secure cloud processing. Your schema context is sent to our AI backend for processing and is not stored after the request completes.

The Free plan includes 3 ORM parsers (Prisma, TypeORM, Drizzle), PNG export, 3 projects with up to 25 entities each, 5 cloud snapshots, and the VS Code extension. It's free forever with no time limits.

Pro ($12/month or $120/year) unlocks all 8 ORM parsers, 300 cloud AI messages/month, bidirectional code sync, unlimited entities, 25 projects, 100 cloud snapshots, PNG + SVG export, full version history, schema diff, and priority support.

The Team plan ($29/seat/month or $290/seat/year) includes everything in Pro plus 1,000 AI messages/month per seat, unlimited projects and snapshots, team collaborations, shared team workspaces, and review comments. It's designed for engineering teams who design schemas together.
