SQL Tabs

SQL Tabs is a graphical client that allows developers to connect to and query several relational databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server, Amazon Redshift, and AlaSQL. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, offering a consistent interface across desktop environments. The application is built with Node.js (restricted to version 10 or lower) and uses Electron for its UI, with optional rebuilding of the gRPC component for Firebase driver compatibility.

The tool is intended for developers who need to execute SQL statements, explore schema objects, and view query results in a desktop setting. It supports multiple database connections, enabling users to switch between different servers without leaving the application. Because it is open source, users can compile it from source by cloning the repository, installing npm dependencies, and launching it with npm start.

Contributions and issue reports are welcomed through the project's GitHub repository, and the build process includes instructions for handling platform‑specific dependencies such as the gRPC rebuild step required for certain drivers.
