DBee is a basic terminal application for running ad-hoc queries against a (mysql / postgres) database.

It has the following features:

• view a list of the tables in the database along with the column info for the selected table
• quickly view table data without writing sql
• keep one or more queries in the query panel and easily run the query under the cursor (queries are saved per database)

If you want to browse the table relationships, edit columns, add indexes, or really anything other than running a query, then you need to use another tool.

dbee [database alias]

The database alias must match the name of a database configuration in your config file.

go install github.com/wheelibin/dbee@latest

Config is read from ~/.config/dbee/dbee.toml

# the timeout for all queries
queryTimeout = 60 

# the max number of rows to fetch when viewing table data (does not apply to ad-hoc queries)
tableDataRowLimit = 100

[databases]

[databases.animals]
driver = "mysql"
host = "localhost"
port = 3306
user = "root"
password = "123456"
database = "animals.0"

[databases.music]
driver = "postgres"
host = "localhost"
port = 5432
user = "postgres"
password = "123456"
database = "music-store"

Configurable key map is coming soon, but for now the default keys are:

• tab / shift+tab to navigate between panels
• ctrl+t toggle tables
• / to filter in the tables, table info, and results panel (esc to cancel)

• enter to fetch the first 100 rows of the selected table

• F5 to run the query under the cursor
• ctrl+s to save the query (buffer is saved per db)
• ctrl+r to reload the query file from disk
