qub is a SQL editor that keeps the query at the centre of the window and
everything else a keystroke away. It connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB,
SQLite, Oracle, Firebird and ODBC at the same time, with passwords kept in
the OS credential store rather than on disk.
The same result set opens as a grid, a chart, a per-column profile, a pivot
table, a query plan, a set of data-quality checks or a diff against an
earlier run. Completion knows the columns of the tables actually in scope,
queries take named and positional parameters, and exports go out as CSV,
TSV, JSON, Excel, Markdown or SQL INSERTs without being truncated to what
the grid happens to be showing.
