Beekeeper Studio is a graphical SQL editor and database manager designed to make working with relational databases straightforward. Its clean interface provides tools for browsing database structures, executing queries and editing data.
The Community edition supports databases including MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite and Microsoft SQL Server. It offers unlimited database connections, queries and tabs, allowing users to work with several databases within a single application.
The application includes an SQL editor with syntax highlighting and automatic completion. Users can explore database tables, filter and edit records, and modify database schemas, indexes, relationships and triggers. Connections and queries can be organised into folders, while SSH tunnelling enables secure access to remote database servers.
Beekeeper Studio also offers commercial editions with additional capabilities. Advanced features such as native backup and restore, expanded import and export facilities, JSON sidebar views and team collaboration are not included in the Community edition.
This is free and open source software.
