A Shopware database reference — by developers, for developers.

What is SWDB?

Your Shopware
Database Reference

SWDB is a knowledge base that documents the complete database schema of every official Shopware 5 and 6 release. It was born from a simple need: quickly understanding how database tables are structured and how entities relate to each other — without having to spin up an instance and dig through the actual database.

Whether you're a Shopware newcomer, an agency planning a migration, a freelancer building custom plugins, or a seasoned developer debugging a tricky data issue — SWDB is here to help.

SWDB started as a personal tool. While working on Shopware projects, I got tired of the tedious process of identifying relationships between Shopware entities — spinning up Docker containers, digging through databases, just to check how a single table is structured. So I automated the extraction and built a simple viewer around it.

Over time, it grew into what you see today: a comprehensive reference covering 200+ versions, from Shopware 5.5 all the way to the latest 6.7 releases.
