pgpad

[WIP] A straightforward cross-platform database client

What is it?

• A lightweight, snappy tool for everyday queries
  • Quick startup: loads up in less than a second in my machine.
  • Small memory footprint
  • Small bundle size
• Most importantly, pgpad is free, and will always be. That includes not ever having a "Community Edition", pop-ups that ask you for an upgrade, or anything of the sort.

What is it not?

• A fully-fledged professional DB management system like DBeaver.

Supported databases

Database	Status	Note	Driver
PostgreSQL	Implemented, primary	Implemented, most used by authors. Unit-tested.	tokio-postgres
SQLite	Implemented	Implemented, unit-tested.	rusqlite
CockroachDB	Implemented	Implemented due to the Postgres Wire Protocol. No CockroachDB-specific tests currently	tokio-postgres
MySQL	Planned		das
Microsoft SQL Server	Planned
Oracle	Planned		mysql
Clickhouse	Planned		clickhouse
SQLCipher	Planned		rusqlite
DuckDB	Planned		duckdb
MongoDB	Not currently planned	Would require some refactors to accomodate a NoSQL DBMS
MariaDB		Rust lacks a dedicated MariaDB driver. As it stands, we'd be able to support MariaDB only through MySQL compatibility

Operating systems

pgpad supports Windows (7+), macOS (10.15+), and Linux (must have libwebkit2gtk 4.1 or higher).
