dblab is a fast, zero-dependency terminal-based UI database client written in Go, supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite3, Oracle, and SQL Server. It ships as a single cross-platform binary with a vim-style query editor, sidebar schema tree, query history, and connection profiles.

Use cases

  • query postgres from the terminal with a tui
  • browse tables and run sql in mysql without a gui
  • inspect a sqlite database file from the command line
  • run sql queries against sql server over ssh tunnel
  • manage database connection profiles with secure credential storage
  • explore oracle database schemas in the terminal

When to choose

  • you live in the terminal and want a lightweight sql client with zero dependencies
  • you need one portable binary that works across postgres, mysql, sqlite, oracle, and sql server
  • you want vim-style editing, query history, and read-only mode in a tui

When to avoid

  • you need a graphical database client with visual schema diagrams or data export wizards
  • you need an ORM or programmatic database access from application code
  • you require NoSQL databases like MongoDB or Redis
