About DesignSQL
DesignSQL is a workspace for designing database schemas in which the SQL code, drag-and-drop table editing and diagrams are kept in sync, so a change in one view shows up in the others. The only public page found is a Lemon Squeezy storefront listing two subscription tiers, so supported database engines and further capabilities were not available.
