Database Viewer

Athas includes a database viewer for local database files and saved network database connections.

Open a Database

Open a .db, .sqlite, .sqlite3, or .duckdb file from the file tree or from the athas CLI. Athas opens the file in a database tab automatically.

For network databases, use Database: Connect to Database from the command palette or the Database settings tab. Saved connections are listed in Settings > Database.

Supported Sources

Athas currently supports:

SQLite is built in. DuckDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis are database providers installed from Settings > Extensions.

What you can do

  • Browse tables, views, collections, or keys depending on the database type
  • Inspect schemas and column details
  • Filter and search table data
  • Edit rows and cells where the provider supports writes
  • Run SQL queries for SQL databases
  • Copy or export result data when available

Notes

Local database files are opened directly and are not saved as connections. Saved connections are for network databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis.
