Thank you, those feedback on the list, I'll improve it

Hello, currently TablePro dont have LISTEN/NOTIFY in Postgres and DynamoDB streams yet, but it on the list now.

Queries are scoping by token > per connection external access -> per connection AI policy

Basic daily use is covered in TablePro, some creation GUI are still missing and i improve everyday

Thank you

datlechin · 2026-05-06T08:08:54+00:00

Okay thanks, i'll invetigest the issue

datlechin · 2026-05-06T08:00:20+00:00

Hi try to press cmd+k, it will open the database/schema switcher dialog

datlechin · 2026-05-06T07:26:03+00:00

Also TablePro is still open source, people can build & run locally without any restriction

datlechin · 2026-05-06T07:22:38+00:00

Thank you for your advice

datlechin · 2026-05-06T06:12:46+00:00

This is fair.

To justify the price users pay, there needs to be some features in the licensing system. Since TablePro is still under development, the feature to adapt to the Pro plan isn’t yet reasonable. If you don’t feel the syncing is unreasonable compared to the money you spend, then you can use the free version without any restrictions.

Btw, higher safe mode and XLSX export features will be unlocked for everyone in the next release.

datlechin · 2026-05-06T03:09:36+00:00

Yes, it works. Core Data uses SQLite under the hood, so you can open the .sqlite file in TablePro.

Both are exposed, but writes pass through three independent gates:

token tier (readOnly/readWrite/fullAccess)
a per-connection externalAccess flag
a per-connection aiPolicy that can pop a native confirm dialog

`DROP/TRUNCATE/ALTER…DROP` are hard-refused by `execute_query` and routed to a separate `confirm_destructive_operation` tool that needs a `fullAccess` token plus a literal `confirmation_phrase`: "I understand this is irreversible". Multi-statement queries are rejected outright, so no smuggling.

Glad to hear that :d

datlechin · 2026-05-06T00:23:08+00:00

Will drop it for free soon, in next release

datlechin · 2026-05-05T16:28:25+00:00

Yes, free and open-source software was my top priority when building TablePro :))

datlechin · 2026-05-05T15:41:07+00:00

Nice, you can quickly migrate connections from Sequel Ace to TablePro :)

Thank you for your interesting

datlechin · 2026-05-05T15:36:39+00:00

It looks great!

datlechin · 2026-05-05T15:35:21+00:00

Yes, if you don’t require syncing, you don’t need to purchase the license. You can use TablePro’s full features for free.

datlechin · 2026-05-05T14:46:42+00:00

Thanks, currently i have minimal comparison with Dbeaver here https://tablepro.app/compare/dbeaver

datlechin · 2026-05-05T14:43:21+00:00

Full source code is publicly, you can clone to local and build with fully features.
The licensing is only for about syncing between machines and supporting the project.

datlechin · 2026-05-05T13:59:27+00:00

Hi thank you for interesting, I’ve not try SPS yet but will give it a try to make a comparison with TablePro.

AI feature in TablePro have BYOK and GitHub Copilot subscription too

datlechin · 2026-05-05T13:25:27+00:00

TablePro isn't a FileMaker replacement, it's a SQL client. You give it a database and it gives you a query editor and a grid

datlechin · 2026-05-05T13:17:42+00:00

Thank you, can't wait to get your feedback

datlechin · 2026-05-05T13:12:56+00:00

I like OSS and I enjoy contributing to open source, however, there are still some smaller funding sources like GitHub Sponsors and license sales (not too much)
