The syntax behind dbdiagram.io was later separated into DBML after a year of real-world use. ### Adoption history Holistics reports that the original dbdiagram.io syntax reached more than 100,000 diagrams created by 60,000 users before DBML was formalized, and the DBML site reported 2.5 million DBML docs and 1.4 million users across dbdiagram.io and dbdocs.io as of February 2025. ### How it is used The CLI converts DBML to SQL, SQL to DBML, and live database schemas to DBML, giving package users a local way to keep database diagrams, docs, and SQL DDL in a repo-friendly text format. ### Why package nerds care For package-manager users, dbml-cli is a compact bridge between schema-as-code workflows and visual/documentation tools: it exposes DBML as shell commands such as dbml2sql, sql2dbml, and db2dbml instead of tying the workflow to a hosted UI. ### Timeline - 2018: Holistics begins dbdiagram.io and the syntax that becomes DBML. - 2019: DBML is formalized after a year of dbdiagram.io usage. - 2025: Official DBML statistics report 2.5 million docs and 1.4 million users. ### Related projects - DBML is tied to dbdiagram.io, dbdocs.io, RunSQL, and the @dbml/core JavaScript package, with community parsers and editor plugins listed by the official project. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for dbml-cli.
