Data Atom package

Build Status

Data Atom allows you to write and execute queries against your favorite databases (PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, MySQL) and visualize the results, all from within Atom. It supports autocomplete and exploring database information (tables, columns, views, etc.). The plan is to build it out with more data management functionality.

Feel free to open issues or make pull requests!

Contributing

Please do :)

  • It is written in ES6 using Babel (provided by Atom)
  • I am slowing moving callbacks I control to Promises
  • Looking at implementing support for your favorite DB?
    • Check out data-manager.js for what you need to implement
    • See postgres-manager.js for the most complete example

The Random TODO list

  • Replace grid with something better to allow row selection, column selection etc.
  • Manage saved connections
  • Add support for other database systems. Submit an issue or comment on one already there so we know the priorities
  • More database information and visualisation e.g.
    • Exploring relations, views, etc.
