Summary

Taavik generates database documentation by scanning schemas, then updates the documentation as schemas change while retaining manual notes. It supports PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, and Amazon Redshift. Each scan creates a schema diff, and readers can see recent changes for individual objects. Teams can save and share read-only SQL queries with typed variables, version history, and execution audit records. Queries can run on a schedule and export CSV or Excel files to Slack or email. A read-only MCP connector exposes scanned schema to compatible clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. Taavik uses a hybrid setup: its cloud control plane runs on dedicated virtual machines in the European Union, while database rows remain in the customer's network except when users run queries or schedules. Its on-premise agent can run on Windows, Linux, or Docker. The agent makes outbound TLS connections, and database credentials are sealed in the browser and opened locally by the agent. The Free plan is 0.00 EUR per free; Pro costs 39.00 EUR per month, billed per user.
