Why tabularis?

Comparison as of June 2026; features in other tools may have changed since. If you need dozens of drivers, use DBeaver. Tabularis focuses on doing a few databases well.

Database support

PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB and SQLite ship built in. Everything else is a plugin. The built-in PostgreSQL driver is deprecated in favour of the PostgreSQL plugin (opens in a new tab), which Tabularis installs automatically. Current coverage, mirroring the driver & plugin coverage (opens in a new tab) on the website:

Shipped

On the bounty board

Shipped drivers are installable from the plugin registry (opens in a new tab). Everything else is on the bounty board (opens in a new tab): claim one, sponsor one, or request a database (opens in a new tab).
