Browse schemas and tables, search the table list, pin favorites, filter rows, sort columns, resize columns, and paginate results.
SQL workspace
Run SELECT and non-SELECT statements from multi-tab SQL editors with syntax highlighting and interactive query results.
Staged editing
Edit cells, add rows, duplicate rows, set NULL, stage deletes, review pending changes, and commit everything in one transaction.
Focused Postgres surface
PgDeck avoids universal database IDE sprawl and concentrates on PostgreSQL browsing, filtering, editing, SQL, structure changes, and exports.
Faster daily inspection loops
The interface is shaped around quick table search, row filtering, large value inspection, copying, exporting, and query execution.
