How to Use
After installing the application, opening it takes you directly to the functional interface.

First, create a new connection.

Fill in the database information and click "Test" to check connectivity.

If there are no issues, you can now see the database.

Click on a specific database, and the corresponding tables, views, and stored procedures will appear below.

Click the "+" on the right to create a new query. Keyword hints are provided as you type.
- Syntax highlighting and auto-completion
- Multiple query windows can be opened simultaneously

Data is displayed clearly in tables. Column widths adjust automatically when there are many columns. You can edit data directly within the table and save changes immediately.

Right-click any data to quickly copy, export, or view details. This is much faster than writing SQL manually.
