What's New in Portbase
2.1.0
October 30, 2026
Portbase 2.1 adds Ask AI, a database expert that reads your schema, writes queries and charts, and runs queries only after you approve them. Charts become dashboard pages with resizable tiles and cached results. Edit query results directly, change many cells at once, delete rows, and review every statement before it is submitted. The SQL editor gains context-aware completion with join suggestions, parameter hints, bracket pairing, and structure-aware formatting. Explore a schema as an entity-relationship diagram and compare schemas across connections. Every engine, including MongoDB, accepts connection strings, and passwords and keys can sync through iCloud Keychain. iPad uses the bottom tab bar, and the Mac gets a tabbed window and a quieter, faster interface.
