Description

MySQL Workbench can reverse engineer an ER diagram from a table. I wish we had a similar feature in Postico.

I know this is a big feature to wish for and might not fall under the scope of Postico. I will be happy if anybody can point me to a decent tool that does ER digram from database. Please suggest something that you have experience with.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing Postico's existing database and schema-related functionality, then determine the scope of reverse-engineering an ER diagram and whether the project accepts this feature. Done would require an agreed design and an implemented, tested diagram workflow.
