A Vim plugin providing a modern database interface through a single :DB command with URL-based connection strings. It supports many SQL and NoSQL backends including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, and Redis.

Use cases

  • run sql queries from vim
  • query postgres from my editor
  • vim plugin for database access
  • execute sql on a buffer selection
  • connect to redis or mongodb from vim
  • replace dbext.vim with something simpler

When to choose

  • you live in Vim and want to run queries without leaving the editor
  • you want one simple URL-based command instead of dozens of dbext commands
  • you need to support many database backends including NoSQL
  • you want per-project database configuration

When to avoid

  • you use VS Code or another editor - use a database extension for that editor instead
  • you need a full GUI database client with schema browsing - use dadbod-ui or DBeaver
  • you don't use Vim
