Database
Import MariaDB
Import your MariaDB database into ChartDB
ChartDB never stores or accesses your data - the import query only retrieves schema metadata.
Quick Start
1
Create New Diagram
- Click File > New in the ChartDB editor
- Select MariaDB from the database options
2
Run Import Query
Execute the provided query using either: - Your database client (e.g., MariaDB Workbench, DBeaver) - Direct mysql connection
3
Import Results
- Copy the JSON output from the query
- Paste into ChartDB’s import field
- Click Import to generate your diagram
