termdbms: A TUI for viewing and editing databases, written in Go
Database Support
SQLite
made with modernc.org/sqlite, charmbracelet/bubbletea, and charmbracelet/lipgloss
Works with keyboard:
... And mouse!
Roadmap
- Run SQL queries and display results
- Add/remove rows/columns/cells
- Rename anything
- Filter tables by fuzzy search
- MySQL/ PostgreSQL support
- Better editing
- No-style mode for terminal emulators that don't support ANSI / low power machines.
- Support for 32-bit machines.
How To Build
Linux
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build
ARM (runs kind of slow depending on the specs of the system)
GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=7 go build
Windows
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build
OSX
GOOS=darwin GOARCH=amd64 go build
Terminal settings
Whatever terminal emulator used should support ANSI escape sequences. If there is an option for 256 color mode, enable it.
Known Issues
- The headers wig out sometimes in selection mode
- Possible race conditions with getting data initialized, only happens when debugging?
- Serializing a numeric string change (like "1234") sometimes appends a decimal at the end, even though go recognizes it as a string when serializing. This is likely a bug at the database driver level, or I am not good at this.
Help:
-p database path (absolute)
-h prints this message
