GhostBase 👻🗄️

A fast, keyboard-driven terminal database studio for SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
No Java runtimes. No 1.5GB RAM bloat. Built-in production safety guard, instant SQL beautifier & zero-config .env connect.

⚡ Why GhostBase?

Opening DBeaver or DataGrip just to run a quick SELECT, inspect an index, or check foreign keys is painful:

• ❌ 1.5 GB+ RAM bloat: Heavy Java/Eclipse runtimes that spin your laptop fans.
  👉 GhostBase idles at ~25 MB RAM.
• ❌ 15-Second Cold Starts: Splash screens, driver updates, and workspace indexing.
  👉 GhostBase starts in under 120 ms directly in your terminal.
• ❌ Accidental Destructive Queries on Production: Running DELETE or UPDATE without a WHERE clause can wipe production tables.
  👉 GhostBase intercepts destructive queries automatically with double-confirmation and one-key Read-Only Safe Mode (Ctrl + S).
• ❌ Messy, Unformatted Queries: Manually formatting and indenting long SQL statements.
  👉 GhostBase auto-formats and beautifies messy SQL queries with one keypress (Ctrl + B).
• ❌ Tedious Connection Setup: Typing credentials into multi-tab dialogs.
  👉 GhostBase auto-detects DATABASE_URL from your local .env file.
• ❌ Seeding & Migrating Data: Manually writing INSERT INTO statements to replicate test rows.
  👉 GhostBase exports query results directly into executable SQL INSERT statements (Ctrl + I).
• ❌ Exporting for GitHub / Jira / Notion: Exporting CSV, then finding a website to convert to Markdown.
  👉 One-key instant Markdown table export (Ctrl + M) directly into clean GitHub Flavored Markdown.

🚀 Killer Features

• 🛡️ Production Safety Guard & Safe Mode (Ctrl + S):
  • Intercepts dangerous statements (DELETE/UPDATE without WHERE, DROP TABLE, TRUNCATE).
  • In Safe Mode, all destructive operations are strictly blocked.
  • In normal mode, requires explicit double-confirmation before execution.
• ✨ 1-Key SQL Beautifier (Ctrl + B):
  • Instantly cleans up whitespace, capitalizes SQL keywords, and indents sub-clauses (FROM, WHERE, AND, OR, JOIN, ORDER BY).
• ⚡ 1-Key Query Plan (Ctrl + P):
  • Run instant execution plans (EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN / EXPLAIN) on any query to see index usage and bottlenecks.
• 🔌 Universal Database Support: Connects natively to SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
• 🔍 Zero-Config .env Auto-Connect: Just run ghostbase in any project folder; it automatically picks up DATABASE_URL or standard database environment variables.
• 🔎 Real-time Table Search (Ctrl + F): Type in the search bar to filter dozens of tables and views instantly.
• 📊 Explorer with Tables & Views: Browse tables and views with live row counts.
• 📐 Instant Schema & Foreign Keys: See primary keys, column types, nullability, and foreign key references at a glance.
• 💾 Multi-Format Exports: Instant SQL INSERTs (Ctrl + I), Markdown (Ctrl + M), CSV (Ctrl + E), and JSON (Ctrl + J).
• 📜 Query History: Cycle through your last 20 queries with Ctrl + ↑ and Ctrl + ↓.
• 🎨 Clean Cyberpunk Aesthetic: Fast, high-contrast, zero-flicker terminal interface.
