What is QueryGlow?

QueryGlow is a self-hosted, web-based database GUI you deploy on your own server with Docker. One interface for six databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, CockroachDB and TimescaleDB.

Core features:

  • AI SQL Generation: Ask questions in plain English, get valid SQL. Supports OpenAI, Claude and Gemini. Bring your own API key. Only schema metadata is sent, never your actual data.

  • EXPLAIN Visualizer: See query execution plans as interactive visual trees. Highlights sequential scans on large tables, disk sorts and wrong row estimates. Supports all six databases.

  • Safe Mode: Blocks destructive operations by default. DROP TABLE, TRUNCATE, DELETE without WHERE clause — all blocked unless you explicitly turn it off. Essential for production databases.

  • SSH Tunnels: Built-in SSH tunnel support. Paste your private key, connect to remote databases without opening firewall ports or running terminal commands.

  • Monaco Editor: Same editor engine as VS Code. SQL autocomplete for table names, column names and keywords. Syntax highlighting. Keyboard shortcuts.

  • CSV Import: Auto-detects delimiters, maps columns, validates before committing. Three strategies: INSERT (skip duplicates), UPSERT (update existing) and REPLACE.

  • CSV Export with formula injection protection.

  • Query History: Every query saved automatically. Searchable, per-connection.

  • Saved Queries: Name and organize your frequently used queries.

  • Connection Management: Save multiple connections with environment labels (Development, Staging, Production). Production connections show a red warning banner.

  • Security: AES-256-GCM encrypted credentials. Zero telemetry. Zero tracking. HTTPS with auto-renewing SSL.

  • Dark and light theme.

Pricing: $79 once. Lifetime access, all v1.x updates, unlimited users, unlimited databases. No per-seat fees, no subscription.

Deployment: Docker Compose in 2 minutes. Works on any VPS (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS, etc.).
