> One is a command line based database browser/editor. PhpMyAdmin for the terminal so to say. I do all my database work inside of this editor.

Isnt this just a shell? Like psql, for example?

It's not just a shell.

It is a terminal UI in which you can browse tables, go into tables, browse and edit rows in a spreadsheet like interface etc.

If there is any database out there that is commonly used to demonstrate DB software, I could record a little screencast.

So far, it supports SQLite, MariaDB and MySql.

Yes a bit. With a focus on browsing/editing databases.
