## What it is
A Ruby gem that adds a web-based database viewer and SQL query runner to Rails applications at /rails/db. It lets developers inspect table contents and schemas, run SQL queries with autocomplete and EXPLAIN, and export data to CSV or Excel.

## Use cases
- inspect rails database tables in the browser
- run ad-hoc SQL queries against a rails app
- export database tables to csv or excel
- view database schema and indexes during development
- explain sql query performance in rails
- edit or delete table records from a web ui
- browse and filter table data while debugging

## When to choose
- you develop Rails apps with PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite and want quick DB inspection
- you need a lightweight in-app alternative to external DB GUI tools
- you want SQL query history, autocomplete, and EXPLAIN inside your dev environment

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade database administration tool with access controls beyond HTTP basic auth
- your stack is not Ruby on Rails
- you require support for databases beyond the common ActiveRecord adapters
