Does the software store my passwords? The software stores your credentials on your local machine. It hides your passwords behind an encrypted layer.
Why does my connection fail? Most connection issues happen because of a firewall. Ensure your office or home network allows outgoing traffic on your database port. Check your hostname and password for typos.
Does this software support large databases? Yes. dbx handles large tables well because it only loads the data visible on your screen. This keeps the application fast and light.
Can I export my data? Yes. Right-click any table and select Export. You can choose to save the data as a file to open in other programs later.
How do I update the application? Check the release link periodically for new versions. Download the new file and run it. The application keeps your connection list saved even after you update.
Is it safe to use? The software does not send your data to external servers. Your actions stay between your computer and the database you connect to.
Can I run multiple connections? Yes. You can open several tabs to manage different databases at the same time. Switch between tabs by clicking on the labels at the top of the window.
If you find a bug, report it on the official repository. Describe what you did, what happened, and what you expected to see. Include your database type so others can help you solve the problem.
Use this software to simplify your daily work with databases. It stays light on your system and provides a clean view of your information.
