The command ships with DDEV, not with TablePro. Run it inside a project:
A stopped project starts first. The connection that opens is named ddev-<project>, carries the local tag, and is not saved. Use the command instead of a saved connection: DDEV picks a new host port on every ddev start unless the project sets host_db_port, and the command passes the current one each time. Database, user and password are all db.

​
Requirements

  • DDEV v1.25.4 or later.
  • A MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL database in the project.
  • TablePro at /Applications/TablePro.app. DDEV adds the command only when the app is at that path.

​
The first run

TablePro asks Open External Database Connection? before it connects. Choose Always Allow and that project stops asking, port changes included. Trusting a link covers what the trust is keyed on and where to forget it.

​
From VS Code

The community DDEV Manager extension runs ddev tablepro for you when its Default Database Manager setting is TablePro.
