SchemaForge: Auto‑Generate MySQL Schemas from Raw Data

Legacy MySQL deployments often require manual schema tweaks—missing foreign keys, awkward boolean handling, and custom PKs for phone numbers—leading to time‑consuming, error‑prone fixes. SchemaForge automatically generates fully‑fledged MySQL schemas from raw data and existing tables, injecting correct foreign keys, data‑type conversions, and index strategies, so developers can deploy clean, consistent databases even on old hardware.

Comment on: Squeeze the hell out of the system you have

Decided to re-create this in MySQL on fairly old hardware, and with actual phone numbers - the latter shouldn't make a difference since they're still VARCHAR, but I already have a program [0] to generate schema with them, so why not?I did have to do a few manual updates after data load because the aforementioned program can't make foreign keys yet, and also for bools (which MySQL stores as tinyint(1)) I'm randomly generating them via `id & 1`, which isn't what you had.Also, I gave `hn_phone` its own auto-increment int as a PK, so I could have a non-unique index on `user_id`. In MySQL, if y
