sabiql
A fast, driver-less PostgreSQL TUI written in Rust with vim-first navigation, ER diagrams, and safe editing.
What is sabiql?
sabiql is a fast, driver-less terminal user interface (TUI) for PostgreSQL written in Rust. It wraps your existing `psql` CLI to provide a full-featured environment for browsing, querying, and editing databases without requiring additional drivers or setup. It solves the problem of needing a GUI tool for database management while staying entirely in the terminal with vim-first navigation and safety features.
Developers, database administrators, and data engineers who work with PostgreSQL and prefer terminal-based workflows, especially those familiar with vim keybindings and seeking a lightweight, fast alternative to GUI database clients.
Developers choose sabiql because it eliminates the need for database drivers and complex setup by leveraging their existing `psql` CLI, offers a vim-native editing experience, and includes safety features like guarded edits and read-only mode, all while being fast and lightweight due to its Rust implementation.
