Choose this fork if Chinese localization and the added ER-notation/type tweaks matter more than staying current with upstream. Stay with upstream if you need the latest fixes, broader support paths, or the least-divergent maintenance story.
Prefer this fork if you want a more opinionated, feature-heavy drawdb with JSON editing, collaboration/websocket work, and export/modeling tweaks. Prefer upstream if you want the safest path to the latest fixes, tighter maintenance parity, and lower merge risk.

significant_divergence
Choose this fork only if you specifically need a stable historical snapshot. If you want current bug fixes, export accuracy, localization, or editor polish, upstream is the better default.

significant_divergence
Choose this fork if your priority is automating DrawDB through MCP and wiring it into tool-driven workflows. Choose upstream if you mainly want the latest editor fixes, translations, and export polish with less divergence.

stale
significant_divergence
Prefer this fork only if its sharing, localization, and editor workflow changes are specifically what you need. If you want the safest path for ongoing use, current upstream is the better default because this fork is materially behind and looks maintenance-stale.
hoangphuc28/drawdb

stale
significant_divergence
Choose this fork only if its custom export/type/localization changes are specifically valuable to you and you are prepared to own a divergent codebase. If you want the most reliable path for a general-purpose DB diagram editor, upstream looks much healthier and more current.
Choose this fork only if table comments are the feature you need. Otherwise, upstream is materially more current and likely the better default because this fork is only slightly differentiated and already behind on recent fixes.
Choose this fork if Oracle export, bulk diagram editing, or custom-type control matter more than staying close to upstream. Avoid it if you depend on upstream’s newer fixes, versioning UI, or migration tooling, because the fork is both divergent and behind.
Choose upstream unless you specifically need this exact older snapshot; this fork adds no visible capabilities and is substantially behind on fixes and polish.

significant_divergence
Choose this fork if you want a customized DrawDB with added workflow controls and localization, and you are comfortable taking on long-term maintenance. Choose upstream if you want the latest fixes, lower integration risk, and better compatibility with the main project.
