Project description
ERAlchemy generates Entity Relation (ER) diagram (like the one below) from databases or from SQLAlchemy models.
Example
Example for a graph
Quick Start
Install
To install ERAlchemy, just do:
$ pip install eralchemy
ERAlchemy requires GraphViz to generate the graphs and Python. Both are available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Use from python
from eralchemy import render_er
## Draw from SQLAlchemy base
render_er(Base, 'erd_from_sqlalchemy.png')
## Draw from database
render_er("sqlite:///relative/path/to/db.db", 'erd_from_sqlite.png')Use from the command line and a database
$ eralchemy -i sqlite:///relative/path/to/db.db -o erd_from_sqlite.pdf
Use from the command line and a markdown file.
$ curl 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alexis-benoist/eralchemy/master/example/newsmeme.er' > markdown_file.er $ eralchemy -i 'markdown_file.er' -o erd_from_markdown_file.pdf
Use from the command line with a Postgresql database to a markdown file excluding tables named temp and audit
$ eralchemy -i 'postgresql+psycopg2://username:password@hostname:5432/databasename' -o filtered.er -x temp audit
Use from the command line with a Postgresql database to a markdown file for the schema schema
$ eralchemy -i 'postgresql+psycopg2://username:password@hostname:5432/databasename' -s schema

Thanks to it’s modular architecture, it can be connected to other ORMs/ODMs/OGMs/O*Ms.
Notes
Every feedback is welcome on the GitHub issues.
To run the tests, use : $ py.test.
ERAlchemy was inspired by erd, though it is able to render the ER diagram directly from the database and not just only from the ER markup language.
