SQLBoss

SQLBoss is a desktop application I built to easily query databases. The focus is not on management but instead on easily querying a database. I loved the way Jupyter notebooks worked, and so I built the UI to follow their example.

Some cool features

• Doesn’t hold open connections to the database, it connects, runs your queries and disconnects. This was important to me because I have seen an issue where Navicat was holding a bunch of connections open on a production database and preventing users from connecting.
• Allows you to see the result of each query statement inline
• Can open postgres:// and sqlboss:// connection urls
