# Introduction

> FlexTable is a fast, native desktop client for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, CockroachDB, Amazon Redshift, ClickHouse, SQLite, MongoDB, and Redis.

**FlexTable** is a desktop database client for developers and DBAs. Connect to your databases, browse and edit data, write and run queries, visualize results, and move data in and out, all from one fast, native app.

## One client for every database

FlexTable speaks both SQL and NoSQL with a consistent interface.

### Supported today

These engines are fully supported. Every one uses the same connect, browse, query, and edit flow.

| Database                 | Type                 | Highlights                                                     |
| ------------------------ | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PostgreSQL**           | Relational (SQL)     | Schemas, types, indexes, foreign keys, `ILIKE` search          |
| **MySQL / MariaDB**      | Relational (SQL)     | Collation-aware, full schema browsing                          |
| **Microsoft SQL Server** | Relational (SQL)     | T-SQL, full schema browsing                                    |
| **Oracle**               | Relational (SQL)     | Schema browsing, SQL editor                                    |
| **CockroachDB**          | Distributed SQL      | Postgres-wire compatible, distributed                          |
| **Amazon Redshift**      | Data warehouse (SQL) | Postgres-based columnar warehouse                              |
| **ClickHouse**           | Analytical (OLAP)    | Fast columnar analytics                                        |
| **SQLite**               | Relational (SQL)     | File-based, zero-config, just open the file                    |
| **MongoDB**              | Document (NoSQL)     | Documents, Extended JSON, shell-style queries                  |
| **Redis**                | Key-value (NoSQL)    | Keyspace browser with TTLs, every value type, and live Pub/Sub |

### On the roadmap

New engines work the same way as the ones you already know, so there is nothing new to learn as the list grows. The databases below are planned, not yet available.

| Database          | Type                   | Status      |
| ----------------- | ---------------------- | ----------- |
| **DuckDB**        | Analytical (OLAP)      | Next up     |
| **Snowflake**     | Data warehouse         | Planned     |
| **BigQuery**      | Data warehouse         | Planned     |
| **Supabase**      | Postgres platform      | Planned     |
| **TimescaleDB**   | Time-series (Postgres) | Planned     |
| **Cassandra**     | Wide-column (NoSQL)    | Considering |
| **Elasticsearch** | Search / document      | Considering |
| **DynamoDB**      | Key-value (NoSQL)      | Considering |
| **InfluxDB**      | Time-series            | Considering |

## What you can do

* **Browse** tables, collections, and keys in a fast grid built for large datasets.
* **Edit** rows inline with typed editors (dates, numbers, JSON).
* **Query** in the editor with autocomplete, then read results in the same grid.
* **Visualize** a result as a chart (bar, line, area, pie, scatter).
* **Import and export** CSV, JSON, SQL, and Excel.
* **Understand** structure with the schema view and an ER diagram.
* **Ask the AI Assistant** to generate or explain a query.

## Why FlexTable

* **Fast on large data.** Scroll through millions of rows smoothly, with no lag.
* **Native desktop app.** Small, quick to start, no browser tab.
* **Consistent everywhere.** One set of tools across SQL and NoSQL, and every engine added next.
* **Safe by default.** Destructive actions confirm; edits are staged and reviewable before you save.
