MySQL Explorer v0.1.53
Browse and query MySQL, MariaDB, RDS/Aurora and other MySQL-wire-compatible databases without leaving your editor. Inspired by Beekeeper Studio and IntelliJ’s database tools.
Features
What you get
Connection tree
A lazy tree of databases → tables, views, sequences, functions, procedures, indexes and triggers — with partition nodes and cross-database object search.
Query editor
Run the whole query, the selection, or the statement under the cursor. Schema-aware autocomplete with alias resolution.
Results panel
Sortable grid with type-aware filters, pagination, and export to CSV / TSV / JSON / SQL INSERTs — clipboard or file.
EXPLAIN plan viewer
EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON rendered as an indented plan tree;
EXPLAIN ANALYZE as a result tab (MySQL 8+).
SSH tunnels
Connect through an SSH bastion with password, private key or agent authentication — TOFU host-key trust.
Safe writes & diagnostics
Read-only by default, writes opt-in per connection. Row editing on primary-key tables, session KILL and lock-wait reporting.
Pro upgrade
MySQL Explorer Pro
The extension is free for everyone — personal and company use, no business license needed. Pro is optional: it lifts the saved-connection cap from 5 to unlimited. Everything else stays free either way. Works offline after activation.
