LakeDB

A fast, focused desktop client for MySQL and MariaDB.

Every connection keeps its own SQL editor, object explorer, tables and workspace state. Your connections, queries and credentials stay on your computer.

Multitab, built for many connections

LakeDB keeps multiple database connections open side by side, each with its own SQL and table tabs, active schema, editor content and navigation state. Switching between local, staging and production changes the complete workspace instead of mixing tabs from different servers. That multiconnection workspace is preserved across normal exits and recoverable after an unexpected stop.

Multiple connections with independent SQL and table tabs

LakeDB 0.11.3 Beta 2 is available. It streamlines the SQL toolbar, improves Format and Snippets menus, and makes the product workflow easier to explore on mobile. Windows users upgrading from 0.11.0 or 0.11.1 should still use View release and run the current installer manually once. Download the latest build or review the version history.

What the 0.11 line includes

  • A split SQL workspace with independent query tabs above and result/table tabs below.
  • Schema-aware completion for databases, tables, aliases, columns, primary keys and indexes.
  • Safe table and eligible query-result editing, cell filters and typed value controls.
  • Visual table design for columns, indexes, foreign keys and checks with SQL preview.
  • Streaming CSV, JSON, JSON Lines, Excel-compatible and SQL exports.
  • Review-first DBeaver, SQLyog, JSON, CSV and SQL URL connection imports.
  • Compact overflow navigation for busy multiconnection workspaces.
  • Explain plans, tab-owned transactions, persistent snippets and Cmd/Ctrl+P Quick Open.
  • Editable SQL definitions, granular schema comparison and active-session monitoring.
  • Direct bug/idea links and copyable sanitized support reports.
