Bidirectional schema conversion between 11 formats with zero-loss roundtripping — SQL, Prisma, Drizzle, TypeORM, Django, and more.

Every team I've worked with has been through this cycle:

1. Start with raw SQL (it's "simpler")
2. Switch to an ORM (Prisma is hot)
3. Realize you need raw SQL for complex migrations
4. Try another ORM (Drizzle is faster)
5. Now you have 3 different schema representations

Manual conversion is error-prone. AI generation is unreliable. Most conversion tools work in one direction only.

SchemaForge solves this.

SchemaForge is a CLI tool (and VS Code extension) that converts between 11 schema formats bidirectionally with zero-loss roundtripping.

# Convert Prisma to SQL
schemaforge convert schema.prisma --to sql

# Convert SQL to TypeORM
schemaforge convert schema.sql --to typeorm

# List supported formats
schemaforge list-formats

Let's say you started with Prisma and now need to switch to TypeORM.

schemaforge convert schema.prisma --to sql --dialect postgresql

Output:

CREATE TABLE "User" (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
    name VARCHAR(255),
    "createdAt" TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    CONSTRAINT fk_organization FOREIGN KEY ("orgId") REFERENCES "Organization"(id)
);

CREATE TABLE "Organization" (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    "tier" VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'free'
);

CREATE INDEX idx_user_email ON "User"(email);

schemaforge convert schema.sql --to typeorm

Output:

import { Entity, PrimaryGeneratedColumn, Column, ManyToOne, JoinColumn, Index } from "typeorm";

@Entity()
export class User {
    @PrimaryGeneratedColumn()
    id: number;

    @Column({ length: 255, unique: true })
    email: string;

    @Column({ length: 255, nullable: true })
    name: string;

    @Column()
    createdAt: Date;

    @Column()
    orgId: number;

    @ManyToOne(() => Organization)
    @JoinColumn({ name: "orgId" })
    organization: Organization;
}

# Back to SQL
schemaforge convert user.entity.ts --to sql --dialect postgresql

# Back to Prisma
schemaforge convert user.entity.ts --to prisma

The roundtrip preserves:

• ✅ Primary keys
• ✅ Foreign keys
• ✅ Unique constraints
• ✅ Indexes
• ✅ Default values
• ✅ CHECK constraints
• ✅ Composite keys
• ✅ Custom types (mapped to closest equivalent)

Install from the VS Code Marketplace for:

• Live preview: Edit your schema, see the converted output in real-time
• Quick convert: Right-click → "Convert with SchemaForge"
• Diff view: See what changed between schema versions
• Format detection: Auto-detect schema format from file extension

# Basic conversion
schemaforge convert input.prisma --to sql

# Specify output file
schemaforge convert input.prisma --to sql --output schema.sql

# PostgreSQL dialect
schemaforge convert input.prisma --to sql --dialect postgresql

# List all formats
schemaforge list-formats

# Show format info
schemaforge format-info prisma

# Validate a schema
schemaforge validate schema.sql

# Diff two schemas
schemaforge diff schema_v1.sql schema_v2.sql

Moving from Prisma to Drizzle? Or TypeORM to Sequelize? One command.

If you prefer raw SQL for production but want to design in an ORM, convert and customize.

Convert your schema to JSON Schema/OpenAPI for API docs that stay in sync.

- name: Validate schema
  run: schemaforge validate schema.prisma
- name: Check schema drift
  run: schemaforge diff main:schema.prisma HEAD:schema.prisma

SchemaForge handles schemas with 500+ tables in under 2 seconds. Type resolution is lazy — only formats you request are loaded.
