dbab.nvim

dbab.nvim is a database client plugin for Neovim that allows developers to query databases directly from their editor. It provides a modern, customizable interface with async execution, eliminating the need to switch between the editor and external database tools.

Key Features

• Multi-database Support — Works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite using CLI tools.
• Schema Browser — Navigate schemas, tables, and columns in a sidebar.
• Query Editor — Write and execute SQL with syntax highlighting and autocompletion.
• Result Viewer — Display results in multiple styles (table, JSON, vertical, markdown, raw) with type-aware highlighting.
• Query History — Track executed queries with timing and re-execute or load them.
• Flexible Layout — Choose from preset layouts or define custom pane arrangements.
• Saved Queries — Store frequently used queries per connection.

Philosophy

dbab.nvim aims to be a lightweight, self-contained alternative to existing database plugins, focusing on a modern Lua-based UI and optional integration with vim-dadbod.
