Outerbase AI vs SQL Mocker

Outerbase AI is a database platform with EZQL, an assistant that turns natural-language requests into queries, charts, and dashboards. It uses the database schema as context, and its AI query editor can generate queries, repair broken ones, and optimize results. Charts can be created from datasets or within AI conversations. Connections include Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, ClickHouse, Microsoft SQL Server, Snowflake, Google BigQuery, and Amazon Redshift; listed provider integrations include DigitalOcean, Neon, Turso, and Cloudflare. Security features include two-factor authentication, database-role access, encryption, SSH tunneling, and private AI models not trained on customer data. Customer data stays in the customer’s database, while Outerbase stores an encrypted schema version. The free plan is free and includes up to 5 users, 1 base, 10 EZQL queries monthly, 3 saved queries, and 1 dashboard, for transactional databases only. Hobby is $9 a month and Pro is $30 a month, per user and billed annually. Desktop apps support Mac devices with M1 or newer chips and modern Windows devices. Self-hosting is available only to Enterprise customers.

SQL Mocker is a web app that generates SQL from natural-language questions using a reviewed copy of database schema metadata. Users can provide schema details through a file, pasted metadata, manual setup, or results from an extraction script run in their own database. Its workspace can detect, review, edit, or add table relationships, including ones missing from the supplied metadata. Existing SQL can also be submitted for explanation, review, improvement, formatting, conversion, troubleshooting, or mapping columns and joins. SQL Mocker can generate dummy data from a schema to preview results and test query logic without production rows. Its homepage lists 17 supported database systems, including SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Snowflake, BigQuery, and MongoDB. It says it needs no database credentials for schema-based generation and does not connect to a live customer database. Generated SQL is presented for review and copying; users run it themselves in their own database tool. Saved projects sync to the user account and are cached in the browser, with backup files available from History. The free Explore plan includes 50 AI queries total and five saved projects; paid plans are marked as coming soon.
