What it is

DbVisualizer is a desktop database client for accessing, exploring, and optimizing databases. It connects to any database with a JDBC driver and provides extended support for Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Snowflake, Elasticsearch, IBM Db2, and SQLite. Its tools include data editing, a visual query builder, query history, SSH tunneling, and exports to CSV, HTML, SQL, XML, XLS, XLSX, JSON, and TXT. The optional AI Assistant can answer database questions, explain query errors, and analyze code; its AI features are enabled only when users opt in. DbVisualizer runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, but not on phones or tablets. The client runs within infrastructure controlled by the customer, and DbVis Software says it does not store, process, or access customer data. The free edition includes a User Guide and community access; full support requires Pro. Free is free. Pro with 60 day support is $199 a year, and Pro with premium support is $229 a year. Pro grants perpetual use of versions released during the subscription term; updates require an active subscription.
