Guide

Dockwave is a native macOS app for connecting to PostgreSQL, browsing a schema, executing SQL and exporting results. Start with a database you are authorized to access and a read-only role where possible.

First session

1. Install Dockwave and read the first-launch warning.
2. Create a connection using the settings your database administrator provides.
3. Run a read-only query and inspect its results.
4. Export to a file only after checking which SQL will run again.

The website is still in development. These written guides are available now; real app screenshots and workflow recordings will follow.

Know the boundaries

• PostgreSQL is the supported database engine; the app does not provision a server.
• The result grid is read-only. It does not provide direct row editing.
• SQL executes with your database permissions. A read-only grid does not make arbitrary SQL safe.
• Query tabs and SQL can be restored locally, but live database sessions and transactions are not restored on launch.
