DbCls

DbCls is a versatile client for multiple databases, enabling the editing and preservation of SQL queries in a file, and executing queries directly from the editor, thereby providing a convenient interface for data representation.

Briefly, this application combines the kaa editor and the visidata data visualization tool.
