Most WantedDriver plugin
Oracle
A serious Oracle workflow without forcing users into heavyweight tooling.
Connection profiles, schema browsing, query execution, routines and export support for teams that still live around Oracle databases.
Difficulty: Extremeenterpriselegacyhigh-impact
driverwalletschemaroutinesexplain
SignalHighest impact after SQL Server for enterprise users evaluating Tabularis.
Next stepOpen a technical proposal covering driver approach, wallet support, and licensing constraints.
ClaimedBuilt-in driver
SQL Server
Finish read/write support and production-grade SQL Server workflows.
The driver is already in flight on a feature branch. Phase 2 needs help on TLS options, composite primary keys, FK aggregation and write support.
Difficulty: Highenterprisebuilt-inphase-2
connectschemaselectwritestlsexplain
SignalPhase 1 done. Phase 2 is where contributors can move the release.
Next stepClaim one of the open Phase 2 issues and target the SQL Server feature branch.
ScopedWarehouse compatibility
Amazon Redshift
Validate Redshift as a first-class analytical warehouse workflow.
Redshift speaks a PostgreSQL-derived dialect, but full support still needs warehouse-specific validation for metadata, pagination, auth, explain output, and query behavior.
Difficulty: Mediumwarehouseawspostgres-compatiblefeatures
connectschemaqueryexportsdocs
SignalGood candidate for a compatibility bounty because it can reuse parts of the PostgreSQL path only after real warehouse testing.
Next stepBuild a Redshift test matrix around connection auth, schema discovery, query execution, exports, and docs.
ScopedPostgreSQL-compatible workflow
CockroachDB
Make distributed SQL feel native instead of merely connectable.
CockroachDB uses the PostgreSQL wire protocol, but full support needs validation around schemas, introspection, transactions, explain output, and docs.
Difficulty: Mediumdistributed-sqlpostgres-compatiblefeaturesdocs
connectschemaquerytransactionsdocs
SignalLikely starts as compatibility validation, not a separate driver.
Next stepCreate a CockroachDB fixture and document which PostgreSQL flows work unchanged and which need dialect handling.
ScopedMySQL-compatible workflow
TiDB
Validate TiDB compatibility without pretending MySQL support is enough.
TiDB speaks the MySQL protocol, but distributed SQL behavior, metadata, transactions, and explain output need targeted validation before claiming full support.
Difficulty: Mediumdistributed-sqlmysql-compatiblefeatures
connectschemaqueryexplain
SignalA compatibility bounty can turn protocol support into a real support claim.
Next stepRun the MySQL/MariaDB workflow against TiDB and document gaps before deciding if a dialect layer is needed.
Coming SoonAWS NoSQL plugin
DynamoDB
Inspect tables, keys, indexes, and targeted reads without building an AWS console clone.
DynamoDB support should be scoped around table discovery, key/index inspection, safe item reads, and AWS credential handling.
Difficulty: Highawsnosqlcoming-soon
authtablesindexesitems
SignalA good future target, but only if the first version avoids dangerous broad scans by default.
Next stepWrite the first technical brief around AWS auth, table metadata, query/scan safety, and local DynamoDB testing.
Coming SoonWarehouse plugin
Snowflake
Cloud warehouse access for analytics teams using Tabularis notebooks.
Connection setup, warehouse/database/schema switching, result pagination and notebook-first analytics workflows for Snowflake users.
Difficulty: Highwarehouseanalyticsnotebookscoming-soon
authwarehouseschemanotebooks
SignalBest fit when paired with notebooks and repeatable reporting flows.
Next stepValidate auth, warehouse switching, pagination, and notebook fit before opening implementation issues.
OpenWide-column plugin
Cassandra
Expose keyspaces, tables, CQL queries, and practical inspection workflows.
Cassandra support should be scoped around CQL query execution, keyspace/table discovery, paging, and safe read workflows before attempting broad administration features.
Difficulty: Highwide-columncqlfeatures
keyspacestablescqlpaging
SignalWorth treating as the base driver for ScyllaDB compatibility too.
Next stepDefine a minimal CQL driver contract and identify whether ScyllaDB can share the same implementation.
OpenCassandra-compatible workflow
ScyllaDB
Use the Cassandra path as the base, then validate Scylla-specific behavior.
ScyllaDB can likely ride on a Cassandra/CQL driver, but full support should still document compatibility and any metadata or paging differences.
Difficulty: Mediumwide-columncqlcassandra-compatible
keyspacestablescqldocs
SignalBest bundled with Cassandra so the board does not create two duplicate driver efforts.
Next stepScope ScyllaDB as a validation layer on top of the Cassandra bounty.
OpenSQL driver plugin
Firebird
Bring a durable embedded/server SQL database into the plugin ecosystem.
Firebird support needs connection setup, metadata inspection, query execution, type handling, and docs for both local and server deployments.
Difficulty: Mediumsqlembeddedfeaturesdocs
connectschemaquerytypes
SignalStrong fit for the plugin model because it expands SQL coverage without changing the core binary.
Next stepChoose the driver/runtime approach and define the first read-only feature set.
OpenSQLite-family plugin
LibSQL
Extend SQLite workflows toward LibSQL and remote Turso-style databases.
LibSQL sits close to SQLite but adds remote workflows and sync-oriented assumptions. It should be validated as a separate compatibility target.
Difficulty: Mediumsqlite-familyremotefeatures
localremoteauthschema
SignalUseful for developers who already use SQLite locally but deploy on LibSQL/Turso-like infrastructure.
Next stepDefine whether LibSQL should extend the SQLite driver or ship as a plugin with remote auth support.
OpenSQL driver plugin
SQL Anywhere
Support long-lived enterprise and embedded SQL Anywhere installations.
SQL Anywhere is niche but valuable for teams maintaining existing systems. The first target should be reliable read-only access and schema inspection.
Difficulty: Highenterpriseembeddedsql
connectschemaquerydocs
SignalGood bounty candidate if a real user can provide access, test cases, and review feedback.
Next stepFind a maintainer with SQL Anywhere access and define the driver dependency strategy.
OpenFederated query plugin
Trino / Presto
Connect Tabularis notebooks to federated SQL engines.
Trino and Presto support should focus on catalogs, schemas, query execution, result paging, and docs for federated analytics workflows.
Difficulty: Mediumfederated-sqlanalyticsfeaturesdocs
catalogsschemasquerypaging
SignalPairs well with SQL notebooks because the value is federated analysis, not table editing.
Next stepScope catalog/schema discovery and test against Trino first, then decide Presto compatibility.
OpenMulti-model plugin
SurrealDB
Explore a focused SurrealQL workflow inside Tabularis.
SurrealDB needs a deliberately scoped plugin: connection, namespaces/databases, SurrealQL execution, result inspection, and docs before broad multi-model UI work.
Difficulty: Mediummulti-modelsurrealqldocs
namespacedatabasequerydocs
SignalInteresting ecosystem signal, but should stay query-first until the product shape is clear.
Next stepDefine the smallest useful SurrealQL workflow and document what should not be part of v1.
OpenDocument plugin
MongoDB
Bridge document collections into a focused desktop workflow.
A plugin for browsing collections, inspecting document shape, running filtered reads and exporting result sets without turning Tabularis into a generic NoSQL IDE.
Difficulty: Highnosqldocumentscommunity
collectionsfilterjson gridwrites
SignalStrong community pull, but scope must stay narrow and maintainable.
Next stepDefine the first useful read-only workflow before adding write operations.
OpenCloud SQL plugin
Google BigQuery
Run warehouse queries from the same workspace as local and app databases.
A BigQuery plugin would connect cloud analytics with Tabularis notebooks, query history, exports and AI-assisted SQL workflows.
Difficulty: Highgoogle-cloudwarehouseanalytics
oauthdatasetsjobscost guard
SignalHigh leverage for teams that mix app databases with analytics data.
Next stepShape OAuth, dataset discovery, query jobs, and cost guardrails into a first issue.
OpenSearch plugin
Elasticsearch
Inspect indices, sample documents and run search queries from Tabularis.
A search-oriented plugin for index browsing, mappings, document samples and query execution without building a full observability platform.
Difficulty: Mediumsearchindicesjson
indicesmappingssearchbulk ops
SignalUseful if scoped around inspection and query workflows, not cluster ops.
Next stepLimit the first version to inspection, mappings, document samples, and search queries.
