I’m starting up a new personal Laravel project this year – a reservation system for Campgrounds. I’ve noticed that there are a lot of campgrounds here in BC with some pretty dated reservation software, and hopefully a solution like this is something they’d jump on board with.
The thing is, planning out a MySQL Database for such a project (already at 22 tables and counting!) can get really complicated really fast – especially with all the relationships required for this sort of thing.
Typically I just notepad this kind of thing… and that quickly got out of hand.
The solution for me is to use a database diagram app – something that I can input my tables and columns, define relationships and visualize how it will all look in a shareable and collaborative way.
Enter QuickDB (quickdatabasediagrams.com).
Creating tables is ridiculously easy. The markup schema is easy to follow (check the docs)
Relationships are just as easy – just remember to check the docs for how to do many to many, one to many, and many to one relations.
Give QuickDB a try: (quickdatabasediagrams.com).
