## What it is
Rainfrog is a terminal-based (TUI) database management tool built in Rust with Ratatui, supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and other databases. It offers a vim-like query editor with syntax highlighting, table browsing, filtering, and schema navigation.

## Use cases
- query postgres from the terminal
- browse and filter database tables in a tui
- lightweight alternative to GUI database clients
- run sql queries with vim keybindings
- manage sqlite and mysql databases in the shell
- inspect table metadata and schemas over ssh

## When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want a fast, keyboard-driven database client
- you need a lightweight alternative to DBeaver or pgAdmin
- you work across postgres, mysql, and sqlite with one tool
- you're on a remote server or ssh session without GUI access

## When to avoid
- you need full GUI features like visual ER diagrams or report builders
- you require write access on production databases (breaking changes expected)
- you need Oracle or DuckDB as first-class, well-tested drivers
- you prefer mouse-heavy point-and-click database tools
