GudDB - Database Client

A lightweight, fast database client for VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any compatible editor. Connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite databases directly from your editor.

Features

Connect with a URI or JDBC URL

Paste a connection string and GudDB auto-detects the database type and fills in all fields:

• postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/mydb
• mysql://user:pass@host:3306/mydb
• mssql://user:pass@host:1433/mydb
• mongodb://user:pass@host:27017/mydb
• jdbc:postgresql://host:5432/mydb?sslmode=require

Or fill in host, port, user, and database manually.

Database Explorer

Browse your database structure in the sidebar — connections, databases, schemas, tables, views, and columns all in a navigable tree.

Table Data Viewer

Click any table to browse its data with:

• Pagination with configurable page size
• Column sorting
• Inline filtering with SQL WHERE clauses
• Inline cell editing (double-click any cell)
• Row selection, insert, duplicate, and delete
• Syntax-highlighted query bar

Query Editor

Open .sql files with full IntelliSense:

• SQL keyword completions
• Table and column name suggestions
• Syntax highlighting
• Run queries with Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on Mac)
• Results displayed in a dedicated grid panel

Export

Export query results or table data to:

• CSV — comma-separated values
• JSON — array of objects
• SQL — INSERT statements

Choose scope (current page, all rows, selected rows, or custom limit) from the built-in export modal.

AI Natural Language to SQL

Describe what you want in plain English and get SQL generated automatically.

• Copilot — uses VS Code's built-in language model API (requires Copilot subscription)
• Anthropic Claude — uses the Claude API (requires API key)

Trigger with Ctrl+Shift+G (Cmd+Shift+G on Mac) from any .sql file.

Supported Databases

All server-based databases support SSH tunneling — connect through a bastion host with key or password authentication.
