What it is

DBX is a small desktop database client built with Rust and Tauri that works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite, DuckDB, MongoDB, Redis, ClickHouse, Dameng and many other engines. Besides the desktop app it ships as a Docker image for browser access and as a CLI. It includes an AI assistant for writing queries and an MCP server so AI agents can work with your databases. Developers and DBAs who juggle several database engines can browse schemas, run queries and edit data from one place.
