## Best for

Developers who let Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor work with production databases and need guardrails.

## Why it deserves attention

TableStudio treats agents as first-class users: every connection can be scoped read-only, changes are dry-run and backed up first, production writes require Touch ID approval, and rules can be set per database. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, SQL Server, ClickHouse, CockroachDB, and Cloudflare D1, with 90+ schema and health checks and 50+ agent tools. It costs $49 once after a 7-day trial with no card. It is macOS-only and made by a small independent team, so it is best for individuals and small teams rather than large IT deployments.
