About MySQL
Database Client
All-in-one database management extension for Visual Studio Code. Connect to SQL and NoSQL databases, browse and edit data, run queries with IntelliSense, manage SSH servers, Docker, and remote files — without leaving the editor.

Telemetry
The extension collects anonymous usage data to help improve the product. Read the Privacy Policy for details.
Telemetry follows VS Code's telemetry settings. You can also disable it independently:
Getting Started
Connect
1. Open the Database panel in the sidebar. 2. Click the + button. 3. Select a service type, fill in the connection details, and click Connect.
Connections support SSH tunnel, SSL/TLS, SOCKS proxy, and HTTP auth where applicable.
Browse Tables
1. Click a table to open the table view. 2. Click the button beside a table to open it in a new tab. 3. Edit data directly in the grid.
Use the search box next to Tables to filter objects in the explorer.
Execute SQL
Click Open Query on a connection to open a SQL editor bound to that database.
The editor provides:
• SQL IntelliSense and auto-completion • Snippets: sel, del, ins, upd, joi, etc. • Run current/selected SQL — Ctrl+Enter / Cmd+Enter • Run all SQL — Ctrl+Shift+Enter / Cmd+Shift+Enter • Run in new panel — Ctrl+Alt+Enter / Cmd+Ctrl+Enter
Cache
Database metadata is cached for performance. If the schema changes externally, click the Refresh button on the connection to update.
Backup & Import
Right-click any database or table node to access Export and Import options.
For MySQL and PostgreSQL, adding mysqldump or pg_dump to your PATH enables native backup tools.
SSH & Port Forwarding
Connect to an SSH server to access the terminal, browse remote files, and set up port forwarding for tunneling database connections.
Mock Data
Generate test data from table templates or mock.json files. Press Ctrl+Enter / Cmd+Enter in a mock file to run.
Query History
Click the history button in the SQL editor toolbar to view recently executed queries.

Open VS Code Settings and search for database-client to configure SQL behavior, result layout, telemetry, and more.

| Setting | Description |
