SchemaForge

Bidirectional ORM schema converter — convert between SQL DDL, Prisma, Drizzle, TypeORM, Django, SQLAlchemy, Alembic migrations, JSON Schema, GraphQL SDL, EF Core (C#), and Scala case classes. 11 formats, 100 conversion directions.

Why SchemaForge?

Convert any schema to any format, verify equivalence with the diff command, generate Alembic migrations, produce JSON Schema definitions, create GraphQL SDL types, convert Entity Framework (C#) entities, generate Scala case classes, and batch-process entire directories. Whether you're migrating from Prisma to Drizzle, sharing a schema with a Django backend, exposing your data model as GraphQL, translating C# entities to Scala, or working with the SchemaForge VS Code extension for live preview — SchemaForge handles it.

Commands

schemaforge convert

Convert a schema from one format to another. Every format converts to and from every other format, except Alembic which is generator-only (a target, not a source) — 100 direction pairs.

# Format-specific examples
schemaforge convert --from sql --to prisma --input schema.sql
schemaforge convert --from prisma --to drizzle --input schema.prisma
schemaforge convert --from drizzle --to sql --input schema.drizzle.ts
schemaforge convert --from typeorm --to django --input entities/
schemaforge convert --from django --to sqlalchemy --input models.py
schemaforge convert --from sqlalchemy --to prisma --input models.py

# Alembic migration generation
schemaforge convert --from sql --to alembic --input schema.sql --output migrations/initial.py
schemaforge convert --from prisma --to alembic --input schema.prisma --output migrations/

# JSON Schema
schemaforge convert --from sql --to json_schema --input schema.sql --output schema.json
schemaforge convert --from json_schema --to prisma --input schema.json

# GraphQL SDL
schemaforge convert --from sql --to graphql --input schema.sql --output schema.graphql
schemaforge convert --from graphql --to prisma --input schema.graphql

# Custom type mapping
schemaforge convert --from sql --to prisma --input schema.sql --type-map my-types.yaml

# Dir mode (check all files are consistent)
schemaforge check --dir ./schemas/ --canonical prisma

schemaforge diff

Compare two schema files in the same format and see line-level differences.

schemaforge diff schema-v1.prisma schema-v2.prisma
schemaforge diff schema.sql schema-updated.sql --format sql
schemaforge diff fixtures/sample.sql fixtures/sample.prisma --format prisma

Detects added, removed, and modified tables, columns, indexes, and constraints.

Supported Formats

Format	Import	Export	Roundtrip
SQL DDL	✓	✓	✓
Prisma schema	✓	✓	✓
Drizzle schema	✓	✓	✓
TypeORM entities	✓	✓	✓
Django models	✓	✓	✓
SQLAlchemy models	✓	✓	✓
Alembic migrations	—	✓	—
JSON Schema	✓	✓	✓
GraphQL SDL	✓	✓	✓
EF Core (C#)	✓	✓	✓
Scala case class	✓	✓	✓

Alembic is generator-only: you can create migration scripts from any format, but parsing existing migrations back to IR is not yet supported.

Limitations

• Foreign keys & relationships — the shared IR does not yet model foreign-key constraints or ORM relations, so FOREIGN KEY / REFERENCES clauses, Prisma/TypeORM relation fields, and Django ForeignKey fields are dropped during conversion rather than roundtripped. Tables, columns, types, defaults, indexes, unique constraints, and enums are preserved. FK support is on the roadmap.
• Alembic is generator-only (see above) — you can generate migrations from any format but not parse them back.

How It Works

SchemaForge uses a shared Internal Representation (IR) — all formats convert to and from this common schema definition. This architecture guarantees:

• High-fidelity roundtripping: sql → prisma → sql reproduces tables, columns, types, defaults, indexes, unique constraints, and enums. Foreign-key/relationship constraints are not yet modeled in the IR and are dropped (see Limitations).
• Bidirectional conversion: every format can convert to every other format, except Alembic, which is generator-only (a target, not a source)
• Extensibility: adding a new format requires only a parser and a generator — no pairwise converters

|    SQL DDL ───┐
|    Prisma ────┤
|    Drizzle ───┤
|    TypeORM ───┤
|    Django ────┤
| SQLAlchemy ───┤
|   Alembic ────┤
| JSON Schema ──┤
|   GraphQL ────┤
|  EF Core ─────┤
|    Scala ─────┤

Each parser reads format-specific syntax and builds a schema IR. Each generator takes the same IR and produces format-native output. The fn: prefix convention preserves SQL function defaults (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, NOW(), gen_random_uuid()) across format boundaries.

Custom Type Mappings (v1.1.0+)

Override default type mappings with YAML or JSON configuration files.

# type-overrides.yaml
overrides:
  prisma:
    STRING: "String @db.VarChar({length})"
    UUID: "String @db.Uuid"
  sql:
    STRING: "TEXT"
    DATETIME: "TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE"

Template variables available: {length}, {precision}, {scale}, {values}.

# Apply overrides during conversion
schemaforge convert --from sql --to prisma --input schema.sql --type-map type-overrides.yaml

Type Mapping

SchemaForge maps types intelligently between ORM systems. The core ColumnType enum represents all supported data types, and each format maps them to their native equivalents.

ColumnType	SQL DDL	Prisma	Drizzle	TypeORM	Django	SQLAlchemy	Alembic	JSON Schema	GraphQL
STRING	VARCHAR(n) / TEXT	String @db.VarChar(n)	varchar(n)	varchar	CharField(max_length=n)	String(n)	sa.String(n)	type: string	String
INTEGER	INTEGER	Int	integer	integer	IntegerField	Integer	sa.Integer	type: integer	Int
FLOAT	FLOAT	Float	real	float	FloatField	Float	sa.Float	type: number	Float
BOOLEAN	BOOLEAN	Boolean	boolean	boolean	BooleanField	Boolean	sa.Boolean	type: boolean	Boolean
DATETIME	TIMESTAMP	DateTime	timestamp	timestamp	DateTimeField	DateTime	sa.DateTime	format: date-time	DateTime
DATE	DATE	DateTime	date	date	DateField	Date	sa.Date	format: date	Date
TIME	TIME	DateTime	time	time	TimeField	Time	sa.Time	format: time	Time
TEXT	TEXT	String	text	text	TextField	Text	sa.Text	type: string	String
BLOB	BLOB	Bytes	blob	blob	BinaryField	LargeBinary	sa.LargeBinary	format: binary	String
JSON	JSON	Json	json	json	JSONField	JSON	sa.JSON	type: object	JSON
UUID	UUID	String	uuid	uuid	UUIDField	Uuid	sa.Uuid	format: uuid	ID
ENUM	ENUM('a','b')	(via enum)	pgEnum	enum	CharField	Enum	sa.Enum	(enum)	enum
DECIMAL	DECIMAL(p,s)	Decimal	numeric(p,s)	decimal(p,s)	DecimalField	Numeric(p,s)	sa.Numeric(p,s)	type: number	Float
CUSTOM	(passthrough)	(passthrough)	(passthrough)	(passthrough)	(passthrough)	(passthrough)	(passthrough)	(passthrough)	(passthrough)

Function defaults (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, NOW(), gen_random_uuid(), etc.) are preserved across conversions using a fn: prefix convention.

Demo Fixtures

Try SchemaForge immediately with our example blog schema. The fixtures/ directory contains an equivalent schema (users, posts, categories with enums and various data types) in all 11 formats:

# List all fixtures
ls fixtures/

# Convert SQL → Prisma
schemaforge convert --from sql --to prisma --input fixtures/sample.sql

# Convert Prisma → Django
schemaforge convert --from prisma --to django --input fixtures/sample.prisma

# Convert SQL → GraphQL
schemaforge convert --from sql --to graphql --input fixtures/sample.sql

# Convert SQL → JSON Schema
schemaforge convert --from sql --to json_schema --input fixtures/sample.sql

# Convert Prisma → Alembic migration
schemaforge convert --from prisma --to alembic --input fixtures/sample.prisma --output migrations/

# Custom type mapping demo
schemaforge convert --from sql --to prisma --input fixtures/sample.sql \
  --type-map fixtures/sample-type-overrides.yaml

# Batch convert all fixtures from SQL
schemaforge check --dir fixtures/

# Diff two format outputs
schemaforge diff fixtures/sample.sql fixtures/sample.prisma --format prisma

Each fixture demonstrates the same blog schema so you can compare ORM syntax side-by-side and verify roundtrip consistency.

Features

• Bidirectional conversion — every format converts to and from every other format (Alembic is generator-only: a target, not a source)

MCP Server

SchemaForge includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes all schema operations as tools for AI agents. This allows AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, and others to convert, diff, and check schemas directly.

# Install with MCP support
pip install "schemaforge[mcp] @ git+https://github.com/Coding-Dev-Tools/schemaforge.git"

# Start the server (stdio mode — default for AI clients)
schemaforge mcp

# Start as SSE HTTP server
schemaforge mcp --sse --port 8000
