Nexa SQL is a lightweight SQL client and IDE for Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL and SQLite
that looks and behaves the same on Windows, macOS and Linux. It is a single executable
written entirely in Rust and draws its own UI with a built-in CPU rasterizer - no Qt,
WebView or Electron, and no runtime dependencies.
Highlights: object explorer with metadata search, SQL editor with code completion and
object hyperlinks, a result grid with filters, sorting and in-place data editing,
transaction control, bulk import/export, session variables in the SQL*Plus style and
the nsql command-line client for scripts and automation.
This installer sets up the GUI (Nexa SQL) and the CLI (nsql) for all users. Oracle
connections need an Oracle Instant Client installed separately.
