ERD import format sample

Hi Kevin thanks for posting in the Lucid Community. Can you confirm what method you used to export your example ERD as well as what method you attempted to import it with?

The following is an example output for a PostgreSQL which Lucidchart could import using the PostgreSQL option:

Hi

i exported using sample ERD. see screenshot below..then proceeded to test export as an import

Thank you for the sample import!

I was able to use that as to generate my own import.

Hi Kevin thanks for getting back to me with that information! In your screenshot what Lucidchart is providing you is actually a query to run in your DBMS to generate an output not the output itself. Running that query in your DBMS would give you a result like the example I pasted in my response which is what Lucidchart is able to interpret in order to build an ERD. This is also why you received a "could not parse" error when attempting to upload the query itself. I hope this helps to clarify!

I'm glad that you were able to successfully import the example I provided - please don't hesitate to let me know if you have additional questions. I also recommend our Entity Relationship Diagrams article from the Lucidchart Help Center for additional information on working with ERDs. 

This sample data import format for PostgreSQL no longer works in lucid.
Can I please get an updated version?

your sample csv worked.. thank you!!
