About DBCode

DBCode is an extension that puts a database client inside Visual Studio Code and compatible editors such as Cursor and Windsurf. It connects to more than a hundred databases, from PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite and Oracle to cloud warehouses and NoSQL stores, and offers a SQL editor with autocomplete, editable data grids, a query builder, ER diagrams and schema views, a terminal CLI, and an MCP server so AI coding agents can query your databases with the permissions you set. Pro features add AI assistance, SQL notebooks that mix SQL, markdown and Python, data charts and compare, execution plan visualisation, debugging, connection sync and cloud integrations. Browsing, querying and editing are free with no caps; Pro is a paid subscription with a short free trial. It suits developers who prefer to stay in their editor rather than switch to a separate database app, but it depends on VS Code and is a younger product than standalone tools.

Best for: Developers who want their database client inside VS Code or Cursor.
