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
Scope & signals
connectschemaselectwritestlsexplain
Signal

Phase 1 done. Phase 2 is where contributors can move the release.

Next step

Claim one of the open Phase 2 issues and target the SQL Server feature branch.

ClaimedDriver 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. Work is underway in the dedicated plugin repository.

Difficulty: Extremeenterpriselegacyhigh-impact
Scope & signals
driverwalletschemaroutinesexplain
Signal

Highest impact after SQL Server for enterprise users evaluating Tabularis. Now assigned and in active development.

Next step

Follow development in the tabularis-oracle-plugin repository and claim open issues on wallet support, schema, and routines.

ClaimedSQLite-family plugin

LibSQL / Turso

Extend SQLite workflows toward LibSQL and remote Turso-style databases.

LibSQL sits close to SQLite but adds remote workflows and sync-oriented assumptions. Work is in progress in the tabularis-libsql-plugin repository — tests and additional maintainers are wanted.

Difficulty: Mediumsqlite-familytursoremotefeatures
Scope & signals
localremoteauthschema
Signal

Useful for developers who already use SQLite locally but deploy on LibSQL/Turso-like infrastructure. In active development — looking for tests and maintainers.

Next step

Help out in the tabularis-libsql-plugin repo: contribute tests or step up as a maintainer.

ClaimedAWS NoSQL plugin

DynamoDB

Inspect tables, keys, indexes, and targeted reads without building an AWS console clone.

A community DynamoDB plugin is in active development, focused on table discovery, key and index inspection, safe item reads, and AWS credential handling.

Difficulty: Highawsnosqlcommunitywork-in-progress
Scope & signals
authtablesindexesitems
Signal

Claimed by a community contributor and now moving through active plugin development.

Next step

Follow the plugin repository for implementation progress, testing opportunities, and contribution details.

ClaimedCloud SQL plugin

Google BigQuery

Run warehouse queries from the same workspace as local and app databases.

A BigQuery plugin connects cloud analytics with Tabularis notebooks, query history, exports and AI-assisted SQL workflows. Implementation is currently in progress.

Difficulty: Highgoogle-cloudwarehouseanalytics
Scope & signals
oauthdatasetsjobscost guard
Signal

High leverage for teams that mix app databases with analytics data. Now claimed and in active development.

Next step

Development is underway on OAuth, dataset discovery, query jobs, and cost guardrails.

ClaimedSearch plugin

Meilisearch

Browse indexes, documents and run search queries against Meilisearch.

Meilisearch support brings index browsing, document inspection, settings and search queries into Tabularis. Implementation is currently in progress.

Difficulty: Mediumsearchindexesfeatures
Scope & signals
indexesdocumentssearchsettings
Signal

Claimed and in active development as a search-engine driver.

Next step

Development is underway on index discovery, document reads, and search execution.

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
Scope & signals
connectschemaqueryexportsdocs
Signal

Good candidate for a compatibility bounty because it can reuse parts of the PostgreSQL path only after real warehouse testing.

Next step

Build 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
Scope & signals
connectschemaquerytransactionsdocs
Signal

Likely starts as compatibility validation, not a separate driver.

Next step

Create 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
Scope & signals
connectschemaqueryexplain
Signal

A compatibility bounty can turn protocol support into a real support claim.

Next step

Run the MySQL/MariaDB workflow against TiDB and document gaps before deciding if a dialect layer is needed.

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
Scope & signals
authwarehouseschemanotebooks
Signal

Best fit when paired with notebooks and repeatable reporting flows.

Next step

Validate 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
Scope & signals
keyspacestablescqlpaging
Signal

Worth treating as the base driver for ScyllaDB compatibility too.

Next step

Define 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
Scope & signals
keyspacestablescqldocs
Signal

Best bundled with Cassandra so the board does not create two duplicate driver efforts.

Next step

Scope 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
Scope & signals
connectschemaquerytypes
Signal

Strong fit for the plugin model because it expands SQL coverage without changing the core binary.

Next step

Choose the driver/runtime approach and define the first read-only feature set.

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
Scope & signals
connectschemaquerydocs
Signal

Good bounty candidate if a real user can provide access, test cases, and review feedback.

Next step

Find 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
Scope & signals
catalogsschemasquerypaging
Signal

Pairs well with SQL notebooks because the value is federated analysis, not table editing.

Next step

Scope 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
Scope & signals
namespacedatabasequerydocs
Signal

Interesting ecosystem signal, but should stay query-first until the product shape is clear.

Next step

Define the smallest useful SurrealQL workflow and document what should not be part of v1.

OpenKey-value plugin

Etcd

Browse keys, prefixes and revisions of a distributed coordination store.

Etcd support should focus on key/prefix browsing, value inspection, revision history and safe reads, without turning Tabularis into a cluster administration console.

Difficulty: Mediumkey-valuedistributedfeatures
Scope & signals
keysprefixesrevisionswatch
Signal

Good plugin candidate because it expands key-value coverage without touching the core binary.

Next step

Scope a read-first workflow around key/prefix listing, value decoding, and revision inspection.
