## What is MySQL QueryDB Client?

No account registration! No e-mail harvesting! No spam! 
QueryDB has spent over 15 years helping developers remotely query their MySQL databases on iOS. It's not just a desktop port: it handles flakey cellular network connections and delivering your data wherever you are!

• Integrated UI support for parameterized queries
• Optimized to run queries over low quality network connections.
    • Does not maintain persistent connections to your database
    • Automatically windows data requests to prevent client overload when 
querying large tables.
    • Support for MPTCP for seamless network transitions between Wifi and cellular networks (SSH server and routers must also support)
• Query oriented workflow. 
    • Run queries with minimal steps.
    • Run the same queries across different environments (e.g. prod, staging, dev).
    • Support for Siri Shortcuts for both UI and scripting purposes
• Unicode support.
    • Automatically sets to default  database charset.
• iCloud support
    • Easily synchronize servers and queries across all your devices.
• CSV export through iOS extensions
    • Easily export data to Numbers, Files, and other sharing extensions that support CSV.
• Premium/Paid support for SSL connections and SSH tunneling

Comprehensive MySQL version support: Versions 4,x, 5.x, and 8.x, Amazon Aurora, Google SQL, MariaDB.

QueryDB was first introduced on iOS 6 and has constantly been revised to keep up with iOS, iPad, MySQL, and SSH revisions. It currently works all the way back to iOS 9 and MySQL 5.x, up through iOS 13 and MySQL 8.x. 
On top of an 13 year record, it continues to offer features absent from others like parameterized queries, Siri shortcuts.

For the past 13 years, we've only charged for Ad removal and SSH support, leaving basics like un-encrypted db access and CSV export available for free. Our hope is to continue offering basic access for free while charging a nominal fee to others who would use it in a professional capacity. However, the increasing combinations of iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, SSH/SSL, and MySQL versions have substantially increased the burden of development, maintenance, and testing. 

To help keep up with the pace of change, we're switching to a one-time fee for all features with support for subscriptions at a later date. As a thank you to all users who purchased the Remove Ads option, they'll all be grandfathered into the new Premium tier (it will use the same in-app purchase product). From this version on, the one-time premium purchase will match the price of the MySQL QueryDB SSH product since they're identical.

### 1/5 — Should be add free

*2026-03-02*

Reminds me of when there were paid compilers. This is a simple client and should not cost 12$, you’re using free openssh don’t ya? Work around  for ridiculous full page multiple ads - close the app and open it again. Should be usable for few uninterrupted queries.

**Developer response:** I get where you’re coming from—on the surface it looks like a simple client, and yeah, tools like OpenSSH are free. But the price isn’t really about just the underlying library, it’s about everything around it: ongoing development, maintenance, updates, testing across devices, security hardening, and just keeping the app reliable over time (15 yrs and counting).

$12 as a one-time purchase (not a subscription) is honestly on the low end for a tool that’s meant to be used repeatedly. A lot of apps have moved to recurring pricing, so keeping it a single upfront cost is a deliberate choice to avoid that. It’s about the price of a mediocre salad or 3 gallons of gas here in the USA.  Many digital pets and crops have been purchased for far far more. 

In an ideal world, sure—software would just be free. But in reality, there are real costs behind even “simple” apps, and those have to be covered somehow. The alternative is usually ads or subscriptions, and neither is great either, as you’ve pointed out.

That said, the ad experience shouldn’t get in the way of basic usability—that’s fair feedback and worth improving. Full page ads should have a close box although not terribly prominent.

### 5/5 — Worked just fine

*2025-02-11*

With MySQL setup.

### 2/5 — Básica

*2024-10-31, version 1.54.7*

No permite ejecutar consultas en modo consola, debes guardar primero la consulta para poder ejecutarla.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2024-09-26*

The adverts prevent me from accessing the database

**Developer response:** The issue has been fixed in the latest release. In the future, there's a feedback form in the app which is a faster way to communicate any problems.

### 1/5 — Lancement impossible !

*2023-08-12, version 1.53*

Sur IPhone 6, l’app ne démarre pas !

### 1/5 — Nicht wirklich benutzbar

*2023-03-16*

- Die App sieht aus wie von 1999
- Schon das Eingeben der Zugangsdaten ist eine Zumutung weil die alten Felder nicht mit der Autovervollständigung von iOS 16 klarkommen
- überhaupt keine Übersicht/Dashboard irgendwas, man wirklich nur Statements ausführen
- Aktualisierung des Ergebnisses führt immer nur 0 rows, nur ein verlassen der Ansicht und neu Aufrufen zeigt wieder ein Ergebnis an

App ist wieder gelöscht

### 4/5 — Good basic query tool

*2022-07-09*

Connects well.  Syntax coloring is nice.

A very useful addition would be a view of the tables and fields while you are coding the query rather than having to d
Select “Tables” and hope you remember the correct table and field spelling.  

Also would be nice to be able to tap the table or field to add them to the query.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review! One tip: The schema viewer for columns/tables has a button next to each entry that will insert the name into your query so you don’t need to type it. Ipads also have a completion bar that will help complete names as you type.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-04-25*

Use it on a daily base. Now also on Mac with M1.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2022-04-19*

My query returns ONE row and yet I’m getting an error: low on memory!🤦‍♂️

**Developer response:** Hi,

Sorry to hear you’re having issues with the app. There is an internal feedback mechanism within the app where we can better offer support and diagnose issues with 2-way communication.

It’s difficult to respond to the issue you’re having without more information. There is an included demo database configuration and query that returns sets of 100 rows at a time out of a total set of 4079 records.

There are a number of reasons why you might be encountering memory issues limiting the number of rows you can select. What query are you running? What does your database schema look like? What device and OS version are you running? The app (which has served iPhone 5 - 13 users since 2012) has been designed to use minimal resources, observe system memory warnings, and work under adverse conditions. Querying large sets of data in terms of rows or columns (e.g. images, or blobs) could be causing the issues you’re seeing. Additionally, older devices are more likely to have memory warnings when running the latest OSs.

That said, perhaps you’ve encountered a bug. If so, we’d like to know more so that we can fix it.
