About QueryGlow
QueryGlow is a database client you run on your own server and open from a URL, so a team can browse, query and edit data in the browser with nothing installed on laptops. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, CockroachDB and TimescaleDB. The site compares it with desktop and web tools such as pgAdmin, DBeaver and TablePlus.
Features include editing cells inline, CSV import and export, a Monaco-based query editor with schema-aware autocomplete and query history, and an EXPLAIN view that shows plans as a tree with suggested index statements. A structure editor lets you add, rename, retype or drop columns after showing the exact SQL.
Ask AI turns plain English into SQL that runs only when you click Run, using your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Google key. The AI receives table and column names and types but never row data. Risky statements such as DROP TABLE, TRUNCATE and DELETE without WHERE are blocked in the editor by default, and there is no telemetry. A read-only live demo is available.
