I m working on ForgeSQL, a tool to design database schemas visually and generate SQL automatically.
The goal is to keep diagrams useful even as projects grow, instead of being abandoned after the initial design phase.

I ve also started experimenting with AI to suggest database relationships from the visual model.
If you work with databases, I d love to hear your thoughts or feedback.

In many projects, diagrams are very helpful at the beginning, but tend to be abandoned once the schema stabilizes and development speeds up.

From your experience, what usually causes this shift?
Is it maintenance cost, lack of trust, tooling limitations, or something else?

I m interested in real-world reasons, especially in medium to large systems.

ForgeSQL now uses AI to suggest and generate database relationships from a visual model.

From your experience, would you trust AI at this stage, or prefer full manual control?
What would make this actually useful in real projects?
