Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Run SQL against any ADBC database e.g. DuckDB, BigQuery, Postgres, SQLite. Syntax highlights the query. Output in a table, CSV, JSON, or Apache Arrow. Supports non-interactive queries from the CLI rather than using the TUI.

Tradeoffs

Requires an ADBC driver to exist, which means you can’t query some popular databases like MySQL, Clickhouse, etc.
