Documentation

Start from a query.

Enough to get productive in five minutes. The full reference lives in the repository and grows with every release.

Quick start

Four steps to a result grid.

  1. Add a connection

    Click New Connection, pick an engine, and fill in host and credentials. Or paste a connection URL and the form fills itself. Test verifies against the live server before you save.

  2. Connect and query

    Click a saved connection and the schema loads in the sidebar. Type a query for the connected engine, then press Cmd+Enter or Ctrl+Enter to run.

  3. Browse a table

    Click any table or collection in the sidebar to run a SELECT * or find automatically. Filter columns, edit cells, and commit or roll back your pending changes.

  4. Jump anywhere

    Cmd+K opens the command palette: fuzzy-search every saved connection and schema object without touching the mouse.

Query syntax

Each engine keeps its language.

RDB does not pretend every database has one query shape. The editor follows the connected engine.

PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, SQL Server, Oracle, ClickHouse

SQL

SELECT * FROM users WHERE active = true

Cassandra

CQL

SELECT * FROM keyspace.table ALLOW FILTERING

No JOIN, subquery, or HAVING: CQL is a narrower dialect than SQL.

Redis, Valkey

command tokens

GET user:1
SET user:1 value
HGETALL user:1

MongoDB

mongosh chain

db.users.find({ age: { $gt: 20 } }).limit(5)
use('shop')
db.orders.find({ status: 'open' }).sort({ _id: -1 })

Opening a collection writes this same form into the editor, so what you browse is a query you can edit.

MongoDB tab

Mongosh-shaped, parser-backed.

Query bodies are read as JSON5, so unquoted keys and single-quoted strings work exactly as they do in mongosh. Modifiers may appear in any order and apply to find.

Methods

  • find({ ... })
  • aggregate([ ... ])
  • insertOne({ ... })

Chain modifiers

  • .limit(n)
  • .skip(n)
  • .sort({ field: 1 | -1 })

Addressing

  • use('database')
  • db.collection
  • db.getCollection('fs.files')

Not yet parsed: ObjectId(...) and helpers beyond find, aggregate, and insertOne. Autocomplete can offer some of them before the parser supports them.

Source build

Build the native app yourself.

$ git clone https://github.com/suiflex/rdb && cd rdb
$ cargo build --release -p rdb
