Pgweb is a web-based, cross-platform PostgreSQL database explorer written in Go and distributed as a single zero-dependency binary. It provides a browser UI for browsing tables, running SQL queries, exporting data, and connecting via SSH tunnels.

Use cases

• browse postgres tables in a browser
• run and analyze SQL queries against postgres
• export query results to CSV JSON or XML
• connect to remote postgres over SSH tunnel
• manage multiple postgres database sessions
• quickly inspect a postgres database without installing a heavy client

When to choose

• you want a lightweight zero-dependency postgres GUI
• you need a web-based database explorer you can run on a server or locally
• you need SSH tunnel access to firewalled postgres servers
• you want a single binary that works on Mac, Linux, and Windows

When to avoid

• you need advanced GUI features like visual schema design or ERD editing
• you need a native desktop client experience
• you primarily work with databases other than PostgreSQL
