[Feature Request]: Read-Only Database/Table Viewer in Database Explorer

[chris-20]

Problem / Motivation

The current Database Explorer already provides useful metadata such as:

• database size
• table count
• server information

However, it is currently not possible to inspect the actual database structure or table contents directly within DBackup.

During troubleshooting, backup verification, or general inspection workflows, it would be very helpful to quickly open a database from the dashboard without requiring external database tools.

Proposed Solution

Add a built-in read-only database/table viewer to the Database Explorer.

Possible capabilities:

• browse databases and tables
• inspect table schemas and column definitions
• view table contents in read-only mode
• search and paginate through rows
• inspect indexes and relations (if supported)

Alternatives Considered

Currently, users rely on external database tools such as DBeaver, phpMyAdmin, or Adminer to inspect database schemas and table contents.

These tools work but break the workflow, since users must leave DBackup for simple verification or troubleshooting tasks.

Area

UI / Dashboard

Additional Context

This feature would be especially useful for validating backups and quickly inspecting database contents during troubleshooting without leaving DBackup.

Hey @chris-20

Thanks for your feedback.

This request seems similar to #47

That's definitely the next major feature I plan to implement :)

Hey @chris-20

This feature is now in the new version v2.4.0

Go to the Database Explorer > Select your DB > go to the tab "Databases" and then click the database. You now click trough the tables and browse the data. There are also advances filter and search options.

Hope you like it :)

If you have any further feedback, I'd love to hear it.
