RunQL

The open source SQL editor built for data work with AI

RunQL is the VS Code based SQL editor built for data work with AI. It keeps schemas, ERDs, query metadata, and documentation as files in your workspace so your team and your AI tools have real database context instead of guessing.

This repository contains the open source desktop app build for RunQL. It is built on top of VSCodium, which in turn builds from Microsoft’s open source Code OSS / vscode source.

For the product overview and open source details, see:
