Quickstart on macOS

Install TablePro

Create a connection

Click New Connection… in the welcome window, pick a type in the Choose a Database sheet, then click Continue. A type badged Not Installed downloads its driver before the form opens, with no restart.

Already have a connection URL, another client’s connections, or a repository with a .env? The Import menu under New Connection… takes all three. See Switching to TablePro.

Fill in the form, test it, save it

The host pre-fills to localhost and the port to the engine’s default. Username is optional: leave it empty and the database applies its own default. SQLite asks for a .sqlite or .db file instead of a host, with no credentials.

Click Test Connection on the bar along the bottom. It turns into Connected with a green checkmark. Now click Save & Connect beside it.

The window switches to the main layout: databases and tables in the sidebar, the open tab in the middle, the inspector on the right.

A failed attempt paints the window with the driver’s own message and a Try Again button instead. Troubleshooting sorts refused from timed out.

Run a query

Click a table in the sidebar to browse it. For SQL, press Cmd+T for a query tab, type, and press Cmd+Enter to run the statement under the cursor.

SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 10;
