Project mention: CLI to manage your SQL database schemas and migrations | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-01
Tangential, but anyone can suggest their favorite SQL client? Many years ago on Windows I enjoyed HeidiSQL, and while you can kind of use it with wine, it doesn't make a stable impression to me.
Recently I found mycli[1], which seems slightly better than the official mariadb cli client, but still a bit cumbersome.

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.

We use a BSL for our product (https://morphik.ai) and usually stay away from calling it anything. We'd just say "repo is public at: https://github.com/morphik-org/morphik-core". I like the term fair source, though.
Is it correct to assume that software than eventually becomes open under something like Apache or MIT is fair source? Or is there more subtlety to it?
-
