So DB Pro is a local desktop database client for managing your databases and data. Prisma ORM it won't replace, but Prisma's browser-based data browser, yes it will absolutely replace that. It's not a replacement for Supabase, it works alongside it, if that answers your question?

I'm planning to extend DB Pro into much more than a database manager though, letting you build dashboards, workflows and workbooks.

I've been trying to connect to Supabase, got help from an agent to but couldn't resolve the issue and connect :/

What’s actually broken

DB Pro:

Enforces strict TLS verification

Uses its own certificate trust bundle

Does not:

read macOS System Keychain reliably

allow custom CA injection

allow “require but don’t verify”

Supabase pooler requires either:

trusting Supabase’s CA, or

allowing non-verified SSL

DB Pro supports neither.

So it fails with:

self signed certificate in certificate chain

This is a product limitation / bug in DB Pro.
