What you get

You can inspect, edit, and query different databases from one place.

You can keep several database connections open in one app rather than switch between separate tools. Navicat Premium Lite supports systems including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, Snowflake, Redis, and MongoDB. You can inspect records in grid, tree, or JSON views, then update or delete the data you need to change.

When you write queries, you get completion suggestions, reusable snippets, syntax highlighting, and real-time error detection to help reduce typing and catch mistakes. You can also manage database objects and move data into or out of your databases using TXT, CSV, XML, and JSON files.

You can protect database connections with SSH tunneling or SSL/TLS and share work files and connection settings with teammates through Navicat’s cloud or self-hosted server. This edition covers basic operations; advanced tools such as visual query building, database synchronization, backups, and automation require the separate full edition.
