WhoDB is a lightweight, modern database management and exploration tool for working with multiple SQL and NoSQL databases from a single web UI. It focuses on fast startup, a spreadsheet-like data grid, visual schema exploration, and an optional chat interface for natural-language querying.

Key Features

  • Multi-database support including PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, and ClickHouse
  • Spreadsheet-like table viewer with sorting, filtering, search, inline edits, and bulk operations
  • Interactive schema explorer with relationship/topology visualization
  • Scratchpad-style query interface with history and reusable queries
  • Export options for common formats (such as CSV, Excel, JSON, and SQL)
  • Optional natural-language to SQL chat interface with support for Ollama and other LLM providers
  • Mock data generation for development and testing workflows

Use Cases

  • Day-to-day database inspection and quick data fixes during development or operations
  • Ad-hoc analysis and data exports for reporting or debugging
  • QA and test workflows such as generating realistic sample data and validating migrations

Limitations and Considerations

  • Some advanced database coverage and enterprise-focused capabilities are edition-dependent

WhoDB is a strong fit for teams that want a fast, web-based database GUI with modern UX, broad database connectivity, and optional AI-assisted querying. It is especially useful when you need a single tool to explore schemas, run queries, and manage data across multiple database engines.
