I'm not trying to replace desktops with mobile here. I think database administration is still going to be easier with a big monitor and a keyboard, and that's not going to change.
Rather I'm trying to open up database administration to people who don't have desktops, or who are more comfortable working on their phones.
Looks like very nice UI model, it’s not an easy problem to solve. Also one of the few times a portrait YT video is wholly appropriate.
With the tri-fold mobiles and Samsung Dex like feature coming, that day may not be far when mobile become the single work machine.
Sadly this specific app doesn't seem very polished or useful.
- When in the table explorer it's odd that the primary action - viewing a table - is behind a dropdown menu. maybe clicking the table name opens the browse rows screen and clicking a column opens with a select prefilled.
- Please default to a limit 500 or something like Jetbrains to prevent me making stupid mistakes.
The key feature is the SQL query editor. The query editor was designed to be mobile-friendly. With autocomplete and a touch-friendly way to select parts of a SQL query, writing SQL statements with the query editor can - in some cases - be faster than typing the same query on a desktop.
The app supports the usual SQL client things:
- Browsing schemas, tables, and columns
- Running custom SQL statements
- Viewing results as a list, or as a table.
- Exporting results to CSV
- Saving queries (You can save one query in the free version)
The project is in very early stages, and is still missing a lot of features - notably the ability to insert, update, delete, or perform DDL via the query editor.
The app currently only supports Postgres, and is currently only available on Android.
Please give it a spin, and let me know if you have any feedback or feature requests.
