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
