About:
dblab is a fast, interactive SQL terminal designed for the command-line. It provides a user-friendly interface for navigating database schemas and executing queries without leaving your terminal. The tool supports multiple database drivers and aims to be a modern replacement for clunky CLI clients.
Key Features:
  • Interactive database explorer with auto-completion
  • Support for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and SQL Server
  • Keyboard-driven, vim-like navigation
  • Tree-based schema visualization
Use Cases:
  • Quickly inspecting and querying remote production databases
  • Performing ad-hoc data analysis directly from the terminal
  • Managing local SQLite databases for development
Alternatives:
  • pgcli – pgcli is Postgres-specific with smart auto-completion, whereas dblab offers multi-database support in a single tool.
  • litecli – litecli provides auto-completion for SQLite, while dblab offers a more comprehensive UI for schema navigation across different engines.
