Design your data model
in minutes, not hours

Four ways to build your schema - AI-powered generation, a visual drag-and-drop editor, SQL/JSON import, or pre-built templates. One universal format that works across SQL and NoSQL.

AI-powered Visual editor SQL & NoSQL Hierarchical data FK integrity Launch App

Short answer

Describe your tables in a sentence, paste CREATE TABLE statements, drag them out in the visual editor, or start from a template. Whichever way you start, you get one schema with the foreign keys marked, and that schema is what the generator reads.

Ways to start

Pick the starting point that works best for you

AI-Powered

Describe your data model in plain English. SynthForge IO extracts entities, infers relationships, and assigns field types automatically.

"I need an e-commerce schema with users, orders, and products"

Visual Editor

Drag-and-drop tables, draw relationship lines, and preview sample data in real-time with minimap and zoom controls.

Import Existing

Paste SQL DDL from any of seven supported dialects and the importer pulls out tables, columns, primary keys and foreign-key relationships. Or upload a CSV sample and the column types come off your own values.

Built-in Templates

Start with a pre-built schema for common domains. Customize tables, fields, and relationships to match your needs.

How a description becomes a schema

Your description is read twice, then handed to the generator.

1

First pass: structure

Extracts entities, fields, and relationships from your description. Determines data types and identifies foreign key dependencies between tables.

2

Second pass: field types

Assigns semantic field types (like email, phone_number, company_name) and constraints based on field names and context.

Generation Engine

Parallel processing and automatic dependency ordering produce correct generation across complex multi-table schemas.

One Schema. SQL or NoSQL.

A universal data model that works across database paradigms

SynthForge IO uses a universal schema format built on well-known relationship patterns - 1:1, 1:N, and (via explicit junction tables) M:N. Define your model once, then export DDL plus data for 7 SQL dialects (see the full list). The same dataset emits as JSON or JSONL ready for mongoimport.

Foreign keys, not just foreign key columns

Pick a customer. Every order that belongs to them lights up, because the generator wrote those keys to point at rows that exist.

Referential integrity. Every time.

The rows above are the free sample pack. This is what the generator guarantees for yours.

What We Guarantee

  • Foreign keys always reference valid parent IDs

    No orphaned records. Every child row points to an existing parent.

  • Cardinality constraints respected

    1:1 relationships generate exactly one child per parent. 1:M respects your specified distribution.

  • Topological generation order

    Parents are always generated before children. Dependency order is automatic.

  • Circular dependency detection

    The schema editor automatically detects impossible circular foreign key relationships and warns you before generation.

Relationship Types Supported

One-to-One (1:1)

User profiles, configuration settings, extended attributes

One-to-Many (1:M)

Customers with orders, authors with books, departments with employees

Many-to-Many (M:M)

Students and courses, products and categories, tags and articles

Hierarchies (via edge table)

Employees with managers, categories with parents, comment threads with replies. A table cannot reference itself, so model the hierarchy as a separate edge table holding both sides of the link.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AI schema generation work in SynthForge IO?

Describe the data you want in a sentence and you get tables, columns with real field types, and the foreign keys already drawn, open in the editor and yours to change. Two things happen after your description is read that are worth knowing. A column that came back as plain text but is named first_name, product_name or username is switched to that field type, so it generates names rather than random text. And no column is made nullable unless you make it: a request for realistic data tends to come back with invented missing-value rates, and those are reset to zero so nullability stays a decision you make per column. If the tables include state, city and postal code, those three are wired to the same reference data before you ever see them, so the values agree.

What import formats does SynthForge IO support?

SQL and your own CSVs. Paste CREATE TABLE statements and the importer reads tables, columns, primary keys and single-column foreign keys across the same seven SQL dialects it generates for. A MySQL ENUM or SET column arrives as a fixed value list, so the generator only draws from the values you declared, and server-side defaults like NOW() or gen_random_uuid() are dropped, because neither means anything for a generated row. Or upload a CSV sample and the column types are read off your own values. Send several files to the API and the relationships between them are worked out as well: a column becomes a foreign key only when every sampled value in it is found in the other column, and only when the name points at that table or the values cover at least half of it, so a quantity of 1 to 5 is not turned into a reference to an id just because the numbers fit. JSON Schema and MongoDB collection import are not built.

Can a table have a foreign key to itself, like employees.manager_id?

No, and the editor marks it as an error while you are still editing rather than letting the job fail later. Tables are written parents first, and a table that references itself has no position in that order. Model the hierarchy as a separate table holding both sides of the link: reporting_lines.employee_id and reporting_lines.manager_id, both pointing at employees.id. That table is also where a link gets its own columns, like the date somebody started reporting to somebody else, which a manager_id column has nowhere to put.

Can SynthForge IO generate schemas for both SQL and NoSQL databases?

The model you design is relational: tables, columns, foreign keys. What changes is what comes out of it. For SQL you get a CREATE TABLE script per dialect plus the bulk loader that dialect wants. For MongoDB, ask for the nested JSON output and each child row is embedded inside its parent document, grouped by the foreign key, with the tables that are nobody's child as the top-level documents; the JSONL version of the same thing is one document per line, which is what mongoimport reads. Flat JSON and JSONL per table are there too when you would rather load each collection separately.
