Rakenne

GitHub license Donate on patreon

Rakenne is a database modeling tool for command line written in Crystal.

For now, It is a toy project to improve author's skills with the language and its various libraries. It is very early stage and is not supposed to work (yet). Please don't use it in production. ⚠️

Note: rakenne means structure, construction in Finnish.

Roadmap

  • ➡️ define a DSL for modeling database
  • create a command-line tool
    • describe needed operations and parameters
    • write the code to handle all those operations
  • render models into diagrams with GraphViz
    • ERD to MERISE MCD diagrams
    • ERD to Chen notation diagrams
    • LMD to MERISE MLD diagrams
  • validate model
  • convert across different database reprentations
    • convert ERD to LMD
    • convert LMD to database specific SQL
    • reverse-engineer database-specific SQL to LMD
    • reverse-engineer LMD to ERD
  • support multiple physical models
    • sql
    • nosql (⚠️ that requires de-normalizing)
  • support multiple SQL and NoSQL languages
    • SQL: postgresql
    • SQL: mariadb
    • NoSQL: redis
    • NoSQL: mongodb
    • NoSQL: cassandra CQL (⚠️ that requires knowing which requests will be made)
