Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does LakeDB Free limit connections or tabs?

No. Free is intended to be a genuinely useful database client without artificial limits on connections, tabs or editing.

Will Pro be a separate application?

No. A future subscription will unlock Pro capabilities inside the same LakeDB installation.

Are credentials sent to the cloud?

No in the current Free build. Credentials are encrypted locally and connections originate from your computer.

Which databases and platforms are supported?

LakeDB targets MySQL and MariaDB. Public packages are produced for macOS Apple Silicon, Windows x64 and Linux x64. Additional architectures require separate builds and validation.

Does LakeDB update automatically?

Not yet. Download updates from GitHub Releases and install them over the existing application. Local data is stored separately.

Can I use LakeDB in production?

Yes, with least-privilege users, read-only mode where appropriate and verified backups. LakeDB's confirmations reduce accidents but are not a substitute for access controls and review.
