I've been playing with a DB for a personal project, and I want to start again, and sketch out some ideas on how to set it up. I only want a GUI that I can set up tables and connect them together and set their properties. Maybe add notes.

Just a simple UI tool. I don't want it to access my db or whatever, I just want to sketch it out. What do you use for DB planning?

I use mermaid or PlantUML, so I can write it out in text and get a visual render inside vscode (just get yourself a mermaid or PlantUML extension)
