3D Interactive Data Explorer

This project aims to create an interactive 3D data explorer that allows users to visualize and interact with relational data stored in a MySQL database. The tool uses Three.js to render a 3D graph of the database schema and allows users to interact with the graph, view sample data from tables, and explore relationships between tables through foreign keys.

3D Interactive Data Explorer

Project Description:
Create an interactive 3D data explorer that allows users to visualize and interact with
relational data stored in a MySQL database. This tool can be used for understanding
complex database schemas, exploring relationships between different data entities,
and visualizing data in a more intuitive manner.

Key Features:

1. 3D Schema Visualization:
● Use Three.js to render a 3D graph of the database schema. Tables can
be represented as nodes, and relationships (foreign keys) can be
represented as edges connecting the nodes.
● Allow users to interact with the 3D graph by rotating, zooming, and
panning the view.
2. Interactive Data Points:
● Users can click on any table (node) to retrieve and display a sample of
data from that table.
● Display detailed information about the table structure, such as column
names, data types, and constraints.
3. Relationship Explorer:
● When a user selects a table, highlight all related tables (through foreign
keys) to show how data is interconnected.
● Provide an option to drill down into related tables and visualize their
data and further relationships.
4. Custom Query Visualization:
● Allow users to write custom SQL queries and visualize the result set in
a 3D space.
● Represent each row in the result set as a 3D object, with columns
displayed as properties that can be interacted with or inspected.
5. Data Animation:
● Animate changes to the database schema in real-time, such as adding
or removing tables and altering relationships.
● Provide visual feedback for CRUD operations on the data, making it
easier to understand the impact of these operations.
6. User Annotations:
● Users can add annotations or notes to specific tables, columns, or
relationships within the 3D visualization.
● These annotations can be stored in the MySQL database and retrieved
for future sessions.

Technical Implementation:

1. Node.js Server:
● Serve the application and handle API requests.
● Connect to the MySQL database to retrieve schema information and
execute custom SQL queries.
2. MySQL Database:
● Store the application's data, including schema information, data
samples, and user annotations.
● Use queries to dynamically fetch and update the schema and data
visualizations.
3. Three.js Frontend:
● Render the 3D visualization of the database schema and data.
● Implement interactive features such as clicking, dragging, and hovering
to enhance user interaction.

Example Workflow:

1. Startup:
● The user opens the application and sees a 3D graph representing the
database schema.
2. Explore Schema:
● The user clicks on a table node to view its details and see sample data.
● The user can hover over edges to see the relationships between tables.
3. Query Data:
● The user writes a custom SQL query in the provided editor.
● The result set is visualized in the 3D space, with each row as an
interactive object.
4. Annotate and Save:
● The user adds annotations to important tables and relationships.
● Annotations are saved to the MySQL database for future reference.
