Draw.io – Import Database Schema

draw.io

In Lucidchart there is a great beta feature called 'Automated ERD Import' where you can import all tables, columns, constraints etc from a database. This is super useful as you can quickly build ERDs within minutes without manually creating any entities.

At my workplace we are now using Draw.io so I am wondering if there is an equivalent or similar feature that can help me in avoiding manually creating entities.

I've had a look through the Draw.io online user manual but haven't been able to find anything useful. Is this possible?
