Hi,

Was using ChatGPT to help create a CDM (Conceptual Data Model) structure I could import into LucidCharts.

ChatGTP did create the code which I saved as a .csv.
ChatGTP did provide instructions (below) 

I have followed the instructions however this is not working. Main issues I encounter are

  • In ERD mode LucidCharts will only let me import from SalesForce, or SQL. Not a .CSV
  • When I choose another option to import the .csv files this is successful. However no diagram and no option to create one either.

I have 2 well structure .csv files for Entities & Attributes, and Relationships. However struggling to visualise this in LucidCharts.

 

Any ideas please?


 

 

@Martin.Sherwood when working with AI there are a few things to keep in mind. The first one is that you should only give AI tasks if they are simple. If they are complex, there is a higher likelihood that the AI will hallucinate, for example, with instructions. I would encourage you to break down the steps so that AI has fewer things to deal with since it is a still a relatively new technology.


@Martin.Sherwood I think that it is possible to use a csv with ERD diagrams, but the feature is hidden alongside other database imports.
To load a csv here are the steps I beleive you’d need to go through:

1. Load the Entity Relationships shapes to your side bar

Click more shapes then choose entity relationship
 

  1. Click Import
  2. Choose import your database
  1. Select Other from the drop down
  2. The sample file describes the format you need, download it

  3. When you have the file, click next and upload it

Hope this works for you.
