TableSurf is a fast, lightweight native database client for PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB and SQLite for iPhone and iPad. (The interface is in Portuguese.) • A data grid built for large tables: only visible cells exist and the next page loads as you scroll. • Tap a cell to open the whole row as a form: edit, set NULL, follow foreign keys. • Filters as removable chips; touch and hold a cell to filter by its value. • Table structure: columns, indexes, relations, triggers and full DDL. • SQL console with syntax highlighting, autocomplete, SQL keys above the keyboard, history and saved queries. • Export results to CSV, JSON or SQL; export tables or a whole database as a SQL dump. • iPad: three-column layout and keyboard shortcuts. • Passwords in the Keychain. No data collected, no tracking, no accounts.
