For
Developers using AI agents with PostgreSQL or MySQL
Worth noticing
Reads run in rollback transactions; proposed edits wait for a single Save transaction, while disallowed SQL is blocked.

Field notes

The page walks through permissions at the connection level, including query access, change access, and hidden fields; its examples show a request blocked because a column is hidden and another rejected for attempting DROP TABLE. It also presents a schema diagram for tables, columns, indexes, and foreign keys, plus SQL editing features such as saved queries and statement-level result tabs.
