I tested the beta, and compared to SQL Server Management Studio, it was really nice to use it. Everything was must simpler and easier to use.

It had mostly problems to manage the specificities of SQL Server (not in the SQL standard).

Have you tried their diagram tooling?

Having ER models is pretty standard on the documentation of our projects.

The page doesn't provide any screenshots for them.

EDIT: Found the screenshots, https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/features/other.html

>Have you tried their diagram tooling?

I'm not the OP, and I have tried the diagram tooling, walking away not just disappointed, but annoyed at the waste of time every time.

I understand that automated diagramming is one of those problems that looks a lot easier to solve than it actually is; the results were hilariously awful every time I tried it, though, even with pretty basic DB schemas with the most basic of foreign key definitions.
