I had been using this to see the table relationships:
http://phoenix.dataverse.org/schemaspy/latest/index.html

as advertised here:


But the phoenix doesn't seem to exist any more. Where can I get a diagram of how the tables are related now?

I think it was moved to https://guides.dataverse.org/en/5.4/schemaspy, though I'm not sure how the database might have changed since version 4.9.4.

Thanks Julian.

Just want I needed!!! The version V4.9.4 (the link I had in my email) was just in the documents. The URL I had been using was this: http://phoenix.dataverse.org/schemaspy/latest/index.html, which doesn't work any more, either.

This is exactly what I wanted!

Thanks again.

Yes, the phoenix server was shut down a few months ago but unfortunately, we haven't gotten around to fixing the guides yet to remove or update that SchemaSpy URL. We plan to do this as part of this issue:

- Hosting for SchemaSpy (currently hosted on phoenix.dataverse.org) - https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/7031

I should note that https://guides.dataverse.org/en/5.4/schemaspy/ was a one off manual build of SchemaSpy for Dataverse 5.4. So it represents the database for that version of Dataverse. I look at that 5.4 SchemaSpy output all the time but I'm conscious of the fact that it doesn't reflect the latest database schema, since it's always changing in small ways.

I don't know if this is in scope for the issue above but ideally we'd have automatic builds of SchemaSpy for each future release as well as a build for what's in the "develop" branch (the latest, unreleased code).

Hope this helps,

Phil

Good news! The latest Dataverse database schema (for 5.14) can now be found at https://guides.dataverse.org/en/5.14/schemaspy/

This is thanks to core development team member Don Sizemore.

In short, SchemaSpy allows you to explore the database schema used by Dataverse. To see lots of arrows pointing this way and that, check out https://guides.dataverse.org/en/5.14/schemaspy/relationships.html :)

Thanks, Don!

I am glad the previous version links (like 6.2) still work.

Use them all the time!!!!

Thanks Don!
