✨ What’s new

1) AI assistant (early alpha)

You can now ask DBAnvil to read your current diagram and generate/modify it on request (e.g., “add a Users table with email unique; link Orders → Users”).
Reality check: this is very early. The modification ability is unreliable right now—our diagram has a large surface area (tables, columns, indexes, FKs, options across multiple vendors), and we’re actively tightening how the assistant targets specific objects and validates changes before applying them. Expect rapid iterations here next.

What it’s good for today

• Quick scaffolding (“create tables for blog posts, authors, tags, and relationships”).

• Drafting SQL/export-ready structures to refine manually.

2) Download / Upload diagrams (.dbanvil)

You can now export your diagram to a portable .dbanvil file and re-import it later.
This makes it easy to:

• Share a single source-of-truth with your team.

• Swap diagrams between personal and work machines.

• Academic use-cases: instructors can distribute a starter model; students submit a .dbanvil back—clean, consistent, versionable.

3) Export to SQL (all four vendors)

One click to generate deployment SQL for your diagram—PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle are all supported. This is the fastest path from model → runnable DDL when you’re ready to stand up a schema.

What’s next

• AI assistant refinement: narrower edit scopes, safer previews, smarter diffs, and better vendor-aware suggestions.

• Workflow polish: tighter round-trips between diagram ↔ SQL, and improved validation.
