There’s a reason why we use SQL databases, a 40 year old technology.

Relating one data with another is very useful to perform fast search operations (queries) on them.

And I’ve found some lovely tech to help model a SQL database.

[DrawSQL](https://drawsql.app/?ref=lucas-schiavini.com) helps you see in a very beautiful UI, the entities you are planning on using and how they relate to each other.

There’s also one tool called [DBeaver](http://dbeaver.io/?ref=lucas-schiavini.com), that helps you manage visually your local databases.

## Regarding Multiplatform

The recommended database is [SQLDelight](https://cashapp.github.io/sqldelight/?ref=lucas-schiavini.com).

[Kevin Gallagan](https://twitter.com/kpgalligan?ref=lucas-schiavini.com) himself answered my questions on the kotlin slack lol. I feel honored.

Damn I could barely sleep today. I don’t know where this sore throat came from.
