SQLMap Project
-
pandas-ai
Chat with your database or your datalake (SQL, CSV, parquet). PandasAI makes data analysis conversational using LLMs and RAG.
-
Essentially this solution is to let the AI *formulate the search* expression and not do the search itself (similar to the concept of generating a SQL statement instead of executing it https://github.com/vanna-ai/vanna).
-
DB-GPT
AI Native Data App Development framework with AWEL(Agentic Workflow Expression Language) and Agents
Project mention: Launch HN: Gecko Security (YC F24) – AI That Finds Vulnerabilities in Code | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-08-01Yes, that's exactly what we do. Some examples: https://github.com/eosphoros-ai/DB-GPT/pull/2650, https://github.com/dagster-io/dagster/pull/30002
We just need to follow responsible disclosure first by notifying the maintainers, working with them on a fix, and making it public once it is resolved.

Gel supercharges Postgres with a modern data model, graph queries, Auth & AI solutions, and much more. (by geldata)

Project mention: SQLiteStudio: Create, edit, browse SQLite databases | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-24
One day I set out to resolve this, though I can not find in my notes' files what the solution was (for MySQL). It might have been to simply use MyCLI instead of the standard MySQL CLI. Have you tried it?

Project mention: XAN: A Modern CSV-Centric Data Manipulation Toolkit for the Terminal | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-27
I used to use q for this sort of thing. Not sure if there are better choices now as it have been a few years.

Project mention: Why Pandas feels clunky when coming from R (2024) | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-07
pandas* per the style guide (nobody follows it)
also I recommend trying Ibis. created by the creator of pandas originally and solves so many of the issues

-
FinanceDatabase
This is a database of 300.000+ symbols containing Equities, ETFs, Funds, Indices, Currencies, Cryptocurrencies and Money Markets.
-
-
dataset
Easy-to-use data handling for SQL data stores with support for implicit table creation, bulk loading, and transactions.
-
I was looking for a simple, no bloat sqlite explorer that runs in a container and ended up deploying sqlite-web[1] in read-only mode. Very impressed, no external dependencies, works great. A CLI tool is nice, but then still have to ssh into the remote server to access the db file.
