The ERD tool that enforces your team's naming standards
Sqemo is an ERD tool that enforces your team's database naming conventions. Design databases with a shared word list, not guesswork: model in business terms, and consistent physical names for tables and columns are generated by your team's naming rules.

Sound familiar?
Every team ends up with three names for the same thing. Code review catches some of it. The rest ships to production.
user_id userId usr_id user_no
Naming conventions in a wiki don't enforce themselves. Sqemo turns them into rules that run on every column you add.
Words in, consistent schema out
-
1. Define your word list once
Map business terms to physical words and abbreviations — "customer" →
cust, "identifier" →id. -
2. Model in business language
Name entities and attributes the way your domain experts talk. Logical and physical models stay linked.
-
3. Physical names, generated
Table and column names follow your naming rules automatically. Words missing from your list get flagged, not shipped.
Add "Customer Status" — CUST_STS varchar(20) is generated
from your word list and naming rules. Change the list, and every
off-standard column is flagged and updated in one click.
Everything else an ERD tool should do
-
Team word list & naming rules
A shared word list and rule engine keep every diagram on the same standard — with a compliance report to prove it.
-
Logical / physical modeling
Two connected tiers, like the big modeling suites — without the license fees or the installer.
-
7 SQL dialects + DBML
Import and export MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, CUBRID and more. DBML both ways.
-
Team standards & live collaboration
Share a word list and naming rules across a workspace, propose changes through a suggestion queue, edit diagrams together in real time.
-
MCP server for AI workflows
Let Claude or any MCP client read and edit your ERDs — modeling assistance with your naming standard still enforced.
-
Free to start, nothing to install
