Database Viewer
Open SQLite and DuckDB files or connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis from Athas.
Updated
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 Integrations.
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.
Connect and query deliberately
Install the required provider, test a connection, and start with a read query. Use a read-only database account when browsing production data. Cell edits and SQL statements can change the original database; they are not isolated previews. Back up local files before experimenting.
