Products that do what Dolt Workbench – A modern, browser-based, open source MySQL workbench does
Why are SQL workbenches stuck in 2002? I work for the company behind Dolt, the first fully versioned SQL database. As a database company, we have often felt the pain of the lack of modern, web-native or browser-based SQL workbench products. We built a cool database UI for our other web products (DoltHub and Hosted Dolt) and we wanted the world to have it. The Dolt Workbench not only works with Dolt, which will unlock version control features, but it also works with any MySQL-compatible database, including MySQL and MariaDB. As far as we can tell, the Dolt Workbench is the only free, open…

You asked for it, we built it: the world's first version-controlled SQL database, Dolt, now has a Postgres-compatible version, Doltgres. We announced the limited alpha here on Hacker News 18 months ago, and today we're excited to announce the Beta release. Doltgres is free and open source, and you can download it from our GitHub repository here: https://github.com/dolthub/doltgresql/ More details on the Beta release in our announcement blog post: https://www.dolthub.com/blog/2025-04-16-doltgres-goes-beta/ If you've been waiting for the…

Hey HN, This is Adrian and David, and we're excited (and nervous) to show you basetool (https://basetool.io). Basetool helps companies view and manage all their data in one place. Companies have data in tons of places like BI tools, data warehouses, 3rd party services, and their databases. However, because the tools are not connected, it's a hassle to have visibility across the whole organization and even more difficult to safely share that data with the team or external collaborators. The vision is to give basetool access to your data source and get a tool that way above a…

Hi HN, we're Eric and Dean, creators of SchemafreeSQL. Its roots go back to an on-line Web App Development Environment we developed back in 1999. It was comprised of an IDE, Web Server, Object Store, Virtual File System, Template System, and polyglot (Java, JavaScript, and Python). Of course, we named it “.OS”. Then we ended up dropping it. But that's a story for another time. It was the ease of use of the Object Store from .OS that we really missed, which brings us back to SchemafreeSQL. It provides an enhanced API to your SQL Database which allows it to function as a Schemaless…

I have just completed the MySQL parser that will be soon used in MIST. The story behind is that TiDB MySQL parser, which is by far the most MySQL compatible parser, was depending on some types called "parser_driver". Parser Driver contains types from TiDB, but unfortunately, TiDB is not going to moving MySQL types, which is heavy entangled with TiDB, out as a independent Go package. GitHub issue:16381 To me, TiDB itself is mixing all its open-sourced modules as a very opinionated monolith. I was porting MIST to WASM binary and TiDB syscalls will be stupidly included, compiled, and making…

I built GoSMig for my own projects and open-sourced it in case it helps others. It’s a tiny generic library (no external deps except golang.org/x/term) for writing SQL migrations in Go with compile-time checks. It supports transactional and non-transactional migrations, rollback, status, version, and a small CLI handler so you can ship your own migration binary. Why another migrator? - Minimal API, no DSL or file layout to learn - Type-safe via Go generics - Works with database/sql and sqlx out of the box - Should work with any db library (or wrapper) that implements some…

Built QueryWeaver, an open-source text2SQL tool that uses a graph to create a semantic layer on top of your existing databases. When you ask "show me customers who bought product X in a certain ‘REGION’ over the last Y period of time," it knows which tables to join and how. When you follow up with "just the ones from Europe," it remembers what you were talking about. Instead of feeding the model a list of tables and columns, we feed it a graph that understands what a customer is, how it connects to orders, which products belong to a campaign, and what "active user" actually means in your…

What started as a Claude Code experiment turned into a browser-native SQL workbench I now use daily. Runs DuckDB WASM entirely in your browser. No backend, no installation, no signup. - Query local files (CSV, Parquet, Excel) – data never leaves your machine - Handles 100M+ rows, 50GB+ files in a browser tab - Full UI: Monaco editor, schema explorer, spreadsheet-style results grid - Share SQL via URL – anyone can run your query instantly - BigQuery connector built-in (Snowflake coming) v0.2 – actively developing. Feedback welcome. GitHub (MIT):…

Hi HN, I’m Andrios, founder and CEO of Hoopdev, and am excited to show you our web database client with a Go-based language server that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, we’re launching our Free plan and anyone can start using it. It works with any browser. Desktop database clients have always felt clunky to me. After 10 years of programming, I still find myself struggling with basic tasks—like securely configuring access or just trying to pull data from a different device. Every time I'm away from my main setup, it feels like I'm locked out of my own data. These hurdles slow…

Author here. Got tired of checking Upwork, NoFluffJobs, eFinancialCareers, LinkedIn and HN threads separately, so I built a CLI that scrapes them into a local SQLite DB and lets me browse everything in one web UI with filters and semantic search. Details: - Scraping via real browser over CDP (your own logged-in session, no API keys) - Embeddings run locally (nomic-embed-text via fastembed), stored in Lance - Rust backend, SolidJS frontend embedded in binary, single static executable Works for my use case (Europe-based contractor). It's my first rust project, decided to do local CLI, it's…
