## What it is
An interactive database client implemented as a Neovim plugin, with a Go backend and Lua frontend. It lets users execute SQL queries and view results directly inside the editor without relying on external CLI tools.

## Use cases
- run sql queries from neovim
- browse database tables inside my editor
- interactive database client for neovim
- execute queries without leaving the editor
- view query results in a vim buffer
- replace gui database clients with a vim workflow

## When to choose
- you live in Neovim and want to query databases without switching apps
- you want a self-contained client that doesn't depend on psql or other CLI tools
- you need fast, streaming result rendering via an iterator-based backend

## When to avoid
- you need a full GUI database client with visual schema diagrams
- you don't use Neovim (requires nvim >= 0.10)
- you need guaranteed API stability - it's alpha software with expected breaking changes
