What it is
DbVisualizer is a desktop database client for accessing, exploring, editing and optimizing databases on Windows, macOS and Linux. Any database with a JDBC driver can connect, while listed extended support includes Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Snowflake, Elasticsearch, IBM Db2 and SQLite. The client provides a visual query builder, query history, SSH tunneling, data editing and exports to CSV, HTML, SQL, XML, XLS, XLSX, JSON and TXT. Its optional AI Assistant can answer database questions, explain query errors and analyze code; AI features activate only after users opt in. DbVisualizer runs inside infrastructure controlled by the customer, and DbVis Software says it does not store, process or access customer data. A free edition includes a User Guide and community access. Pro adds full support and Git version control. Free is free; Pro plans are $199 or $229 a year.
