Our enterprise utilizes Snowflake for our data warehouse. We find the MS SQL ERD capability very useful, but are unable to utilize this feature for our Snowflake data warehouse. We currently have to utilize toolsets like https://github.com/cristiscu/erd-viewer which devalues our usage of Lucid.

Hi ​@Richard Rowley

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback on this and let us know just how important this is to your workflow. We have some great news here and some exciting updates!

Lucid has expanded ERD import and export to support Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, Azure SQL Database, and Google BigQuery. We’re excited to now offer our most requested vendors in an effort to make this process more efficient! 

I also wanted to mention a few additional enhancements to ERDs: 

  • Automatically generate ERD diagrams: Now you can automatically create diagrams from your SQL database. Import your data and it will populate in the left-hand panel. From there, you can drag and drop your entire imported database onto the canvas. Your ERD diagram will automatically generate, creating an organized ERD with all tables and relationships. 
  • Collapsible ERDs: We’ve introduced the ability to collapse and expand tables to tidy up complex ERDs. You can navigate to the contextual panel or expand and collapse from the shape itself.
