We Accidentally Ran One SQL Script Across Multiple Database Connections

Run All looked like a UI feature. Underneath, it fanned one SQL script into parallel pool checkouts. The statements succeeded, the session state disappeared, and a parent-child import silently produced missing and duplicated rows.

v0.19.0: Connections That Know They're Production, Columns That Keep Secrets, and Tables Without a Primary Key You Can Finally Edit

v0.19.0 adds colored tags and environment classification with a production write guard, masks sensitive columns in the results grid, makes tables without a primary key editable, closes the plugin driver feature gap with BLOB and materialized-view forwarding plus plugin-owned connection fields, validates plugin archives before they can touch an existing install, and stops bundling libwayland in the Linux AppImage.

v0.18.0: Users and Privileges, a Connection Test That Tells You Where It Failed, and a Data Grid You Can Actually Select

v0.18.0 adds MySQL/MariaDB user and privilege management, rebuilds the connection modal around a real SSH test with classified errors and a step-by-step diagnostics log, lets a connection browse every database without picking any, gives the data grid keyboard navigation and honest copy scopes, exports the ER diagram as Mermaid or DBML, and teaches PostgreSQL to edit hstore and render expression indexes.

The Rust stack inside a ~15 MB installer

Two database stacks, several TLS verification paths, two SSH clients, a hand-written float16 decoder, and the vendored OpenSSL that refuses to leave: a guided tour of the fifty-odd top-level Rust dependencies behind Tabularis's compact installers — the other half of last week's Tauri story.

v0.17.0: Visual EXPLAIN That Points at the Problem, a Row Editor That Follows You, and SQL That Formats Itself

v0.17.0 rebuilds Visual EXPLAIN around exclusive metrics, per-node findings and two new views, replaces the row-editor overlay with a selection-following right sidebar, adds SQL formatting with configurable style, clause-aware autocomplete, an opt-in nightly update channel, pgvector support for PostgreSQL, live reaction to DROP DATABASE, and a Brazilian Portuguese translation.

Visual EXPLAIN beyond the app: one engine, multiple hosts

Visual EXPLAIN began inside the desktop app. Extracting it produced an npm package and an online visualiser, but also a public API, two release schedules, and a repository question I have not answered yet.
