Database Navigator
Database Navigator turns VS Code into a capable database cockpit. Browse connections, inspect schemas, run queries, explore NoSQL stores, and move data around from the editor you already live in.
It is built for developers who want database context beside their code, with enough range to handle day-to-day SQL work and a healthy slice of Redis, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, SQLite, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Exasol.
What It Helps You Do
- Browse database and NoSQL connections from dedicated activity-bar views.
- Run selected SQL or entire SQL documents with familiar shortcuts.
- Inspect databases, schemas, tables, views, procedures, functions, triggers, users, and columns.
- Open table data quickly with sensible result limits.
- Edit, filter, export, import, and inspect data where the selected engine supports it.
- Compare and synchronise structures.
- Generate structure exports and database documentation.
- Work with Redis keys, details, terminal access, and server status.
- Explore MongoDB and Elasticsearch data alongside SQL engines.
- Use SSH tunnelling for database endpoints tucked behind another host.
Good Moments For Database Navigator
- You need to check table data while working on application code.
- A schema change needs a quick look before committing.
- Redis keys need inspection during a debugging session.
- A query result needs exporting for someone else.
- You want one database side panel instead of juggling separate tools.
Editor Goodies
- SQL syntax highlighting and snippets.
- Query execution shortcuts.
- Completion helpers, hovers, document symbols, and code-lens actions.
- Tree views that keep common database actions close by.
The Feel
Busy in the useful way: a practical database toolbox that keeps the fiddly bits within reach and lets you get back to the actual problem.
