sql-tap is a real-time SQL traffic viewer consisting of a proxy daemon (sql-tapd) and a TUI/Web client. It sits between an application and its PostgreSQL, MySQL, or TiDB database, capturing every query over the native wire protocol without code changes.

Use cases

  • watch SQL queries in real time from my app
  • debug slow or unexpected database queries without changing code
  • inspect transactions flowing to PostgreSQL or MySQL
  • run EXPLAIN on captured queries
  • tap database traffic in development via a proxy sidecar
  • view live SQL traffic in a terminal UI

When to choose

  • you need to see live SQL queries from an app you can't or don't want to instrument
  • you use PostgreSQL, MySQL, or TiDB and want a lightweight terminal-based query viewer
  • you want to inspect transactions and run EXPLAIN from a TUI

When to avoid

  • you need deep performance profiling or APM-style metrics rather than query viewing
  • you use a database other than PostgreSQL, MySQL, or TiDB
  • you need persistent query logging or long-term analytics storage
