Import Database schema using Draw.io

Question

In Lucidchart there is a great beta feature called 'Automated ERD Import' where you can import all tables, columns, constraints etc from a database. This is super useful as you can quickly build ERDs within minutes without manually creating any entities.

At my workplace we are now using Draw.io so I am wondering if there is an equivalent or similar feature that can help me in avoiding manually creating entities.

I've had a look through the Draw.io online user manual but haven't been able to find anything useful. Is this possible?

Maybe when the ERD is imported it also automatically makes the columns, constraints and eventually tables.
