Create and Manage ERDs
ERDs are created inside a project and managed as Private ERDs or Team ERDs depending on their connection scope and sharing state.
Create a New ERD
Open the ERD creation modal from the New ERD button in the left ERD list or from the new-tab menu. In projects with a connection, choose the Connection and Database/Schema scope. In an empty project without a connection, choose only the DBMS type and start designing.
Enter an ERD title
A title may receive an automatic prefix, and you can edit it again later from the right info panel.
Choose a Connection or DBMS
If the project has a connection, choose the actual database connection. If not, choose only a DBMS type such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.
Choose the Database and Schema scope
For PostgreSQL and SQL Server, choose a Database first. Inside it, you can fix the ERD to a specific Schema or allow all Schemas. Tables from different Databases cannot be mixed in one ERD.
ERD List and Status
The ERD list combines private and team ERDs and shows them by latest update. You can review title search, included table count, disabled connection state, and public gallery state in one place.
| Display | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Private icon | A Private ERD owned by the current user. |
| Team icon | A Team ERD shared with project members. |
| Published marker | A Private ERD published to the gallery. Deleting it also deletes the gallery publication. |
| Disabled | An ERD tied to a connection that cannot be used because of connection cleanup or plan policy. |
ERD Types and Sharing Flow
In Online mode, NeoSQL separates Private ERDs for personal work from Team ERDs shared with project members. A Private ERD can be moved to a Team ERD or published to the gallery when needed, and a Team ERD can be copied to your Private ERDs as a separate working copy.
| Type | Usage Scope | Main Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Private ERD | Managed in my account | Can be published to the gallery or moved to Team ERD |
| Team ERD | Shared with project members | Can be deleted depending on permissions or copied to my Private ERDs |
Deleting a Team ERD is allowed depending on full permission, ERD delete permission, or ERD creator status.
