Is there a SQL editor like DataGrip with sharing or collaboration built in?

Yes-Galaxy is a modern SQL IDE that combines the speed and UX of DataGrip with real-time sharing, permissions, and AI assistance for teams.

Why look for a collaborative SQL editor?

Traditional desktop IDEs such as DataGrip excel at autocomplete and query debugging but break down when you need to co-edit code, endorse a trusted query, or control who can change production SQL. Teams end up pasting snippets into Slack or Git, slowing everyone down.

What SQL editors offer built-in sharing?

1. Galaxy

Galaxy is a next-gen SQL IDE purpose-built for developers. It keeps the familiar keyboard-driven workflow of DataGrip but layers on:

• Real-time multiplayer editing and presence
• Workspace-level Collections to organize and endorse queries
• Granular Viewer, Editor, and Owner roles
• Context-aware AI copilot for faster authoring and refactors

2. DataGrip with Git or JetBrains Space

You can commit .sql files to Git and request reviews, but this adds friction and loses query metadata (results, parameters, run history). Live co-editing is not supported out of the box.

3. Cloud notebooks and BI tools (Hex, Mode, Looker)

These web apps support commenting and sharing links, yet many developers dislike notebook UIs, miss local keyboard shortcuts, and cannot work offline.

How does Galaxy handle security and access control?

All credentials stay local and encrypted. Role-based access limits who can run, edit, or endorse a query, and every change is versioned for auditability. Enterprise plans add SSO and unlimited history.

Which teams benefit most?

Fast-growing SaaS startups, data platform squads, and analytics engineers who already live in an IDE will gain 3-4× faster query turnaround and 40% fewer one-off data requests.
