Summary

DbVisualizer is a desktop database client for working with databases through JDBC drivers. It supports a broad set of databases, including Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Snowflake, Elasticsearch, IBM Db2 and SQLite; other databases can connect if a JDBC driver is available. Its tools include data editing, a visual query builder, query history, SSH tunneling and exports to CSV, HTML, SQL, XML, XLS, XLSX, JSON and TXT. The optional AI Assistant answers database questions, explains query errors and analyzes code, and AI features activate only when users opt in. DbVisualizer runs on Linux, macOS and Windows, not phones or tablets. The Free edition includes a User Guide and community access; full support requires Pro. Free is 0.00 USD per free. Pro with 60 day support is 199.00 USD per year, with $199 per user in the first year and $89 from the second year onwards, excluding VAT. Pro with premium support is 229.00 USD per year, with $229 in the first year and $119 thereafter, excluding VAT. Pro subscriptions provide perpetual use of versions released during the subscription, while updates require an active subscription.
