WebDB

WebDB – Open Source and Efficient Database IDE

WebDB is a free, open-source database IDE designed for performance and practicality. It emphasizes secure-by-design principles, supports automatic discovery of nearby DBMS, powerful query editing, integrated AI assistance, and robust versioning and data generation capabilities. It aims to streamline database development, administration, and exploration with a modern toolset and extensible integrations.

Key Capabilities

• Secure by design with open-source foundations
• Automatic DBMS discovery to locate nearby database systems
• Credential guessing to quickly test common access methods (or connect via a simple form)
• SSH tunneling to securely reach remote servers
• Time Machine-style versioning: detect changes, track edits in Git, and revert modifications in seconds (up to 200 versions retained)
• Advanced query editor with Monaco, autocompletion, and integrated documentation; aliases supported; in-code error highlighting for MySQL
• Integrated AI assistants (HuggingFace, Gorq, Together AI, ChatGPT, Google Gemini) for database help and automation
• NoSQL structure inference: automatically deduce document structures and relationships between collections
• Modern ERD view for graphical database exploration
• Intelligent data generator using FakerJS and Falso to produce realistic test data with foreign keys and enums
• Broad database support (with ongoing additions) and a plan for future enhancements

How It Works

1. Detect nearby or specified DBMS instances automatically.
2. Establish connections (including SSH tunnels) securely.
3. Use the Monaco-based editor to write queries with rich autocompletion and inline documentation.
4. Leverage AI assistants to explore schemas, generate queries, or create sample data.
5. Visualize databases with an ERD view and infer NoSQL structures to understand semi-structured data.
6. Generate realistic data for testing, with proper foreign key and enum value handling.
7. Track all changes via Git integration, enabling fast reversion and version history (up to 200 revisions).
