Group entities (eg. by areas of interes, by collections and subcollections, etc) [ER Diagram]

Open st-trade opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It's visually helpful to group entity tables by arbitrary categories. It's frustrating to be unable to have a quick snapshot of all entities that relate to each other in some defined way (eg. area of interest: user related entities, etc)

Describe the solution you'd like Group (and possibly subgroup for NoSQL) entities based on certain categories.

Describe alternatives you've considered I've tried to do this using a flowchart diagram instead of an ERD. It does the trick, but tables aren't as clear as with the ERD visual paradigm.

Great enhancement, I would like to have that too ...

In my search for this feature, I found d2 which I am using. Large entity graphs get very hard to read without some logical grouping.

Would love Mermaid to be able to do this so I can stay in one DSL!

I came looking for this and didn't find it at first because it's missing the Entity Relationship tag/label.

Is this feature planned? Is there any timeline for it?

It would be super relevant for Entity definition in different domains

Thanks
