Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Lightweight terminal database interface. Easily execute queries and review the results. Query editor supports highlighting and history. Browse the schema and use quick filters to display rows. Vim-like keybindings, which are customizable.

Tradeoffs

MySQL and SQLite are supported, but are in preview mode so shouldn’t be used against production databases.
