Q: Inquiry About Database Relationship Management and Visual Tools
Hi Wim_NoCode-X,
I hope you're doing well! I wanted to ask about the logic for managing relationships in the database. When I logged into the system, I couldn't find a way to define parent-child relationships, cardinality, etc. This leads me to a couple of questions:
1) Are there any plans to implement a visual editor for tables and relationships (ER Diagram)? (Some references could be MySQL Workbench, Claris Filemaker, etc.)
2) Similarly, are you considering adding a feature to create object-oriented data models in a visual way (class diagrams, etc.)?
If so, could you give me an estimated timeline for these features? Thanks a lot!
Best,
Wim_NoCode-X
Apr 28, 2025A: If you’re ready to bring your data models to life with the clarity of visual diagrams and intuitive relationship management, you’re asking the kind of question that shapes the future of NoCode-X.
VISUAL DATABASE RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
You’re absolutely on point—defining parent-child relationships, cardinality, and visualizing your data structure is essential for building robust applications. The good news is that a visual editor for tables and relationships, including ER diagrams, is already on the NoCode-X roadmap. This will let you see and manage your data models just like you would in tools such as MySQL Workbench or Claris Filemaker, making it easier to design, understand, and evolve your database structure.
OBJECT-ORIENTED DATA MODELING
We’re also looking at bringing visual tools for object-oriented data models, like class diagrams, into the platform. This means you’ll be able to create and manage complex data relationships and object hierarchies visually, making your workflow smoother and more intuitive.
TIMELINE AND ROADMAP
While I can’t give you an exact launch date, these features are actively being planned and developed. You can keep an eye on progress and upcoming releases on the public roadmap at https://docs.nocode-x.com/Roadmap/. The specific action to watch is “Table view on database,” which will include relationship visualizations and editing capabilities.

FINAL THOUGHTS
So, are you ready to shape your data with the power of visual modeling and bring your ideas to life with clarity and control? With NoCode-X, you’re not just building apps—you’re designing the future of how data is managed and understood. Dive in, stay curious, and let’s see how far your vision can take you. The next leap in visual database design could be just around the corner—are you ready to be part of it?
