Joinery, a Database Workbench That Shows Its Work
An open-source desktop workbench for SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL, covering schema exploration, SQL editing, diagrams, execution plans, backups, and more.
Why it surfaced
Joinery makes an unusually clear promise: its assistant reads the database schema and displays the context it received, while the app surfaces the exact statement behind each operation. The project is MIT-licensed and extensively documented, though it still requires building from source until packaged installers arrive.
