Is there a SQL editor like DataGrip with visualization built in?

Yes - Galaxy is a modern SQL IDE that rivals DataGrip and lets you instantly visualize query results without switching tools.

Why look for a DataGrip alternative with visualization?

Many engineers love DataGrip’s rich SQL editing but still copy results into BI tools or notebooks just to see a quick chart. A unified workflow saves time, reduces context-switching, and keeps analyses reproducible inside version-controlled SQL files.

Which SQL editors combine IDE power and visual charts?

Galaxy

Galaxy is a lightning-fast desktop SQL IDE with context-aware AI, multiplayer sharing, and lightweight charting baked into the results pane. Choose line, bar, or area charts in one click and share both query and visualization via Collections.

DBeaver Ultimate

DBeaver’s paid Ultimate edition adds basic charts, though performance and UI feel heavier than developer-first tools.

Azure Data Studio

Microsoft’s free IDE offers simple charting for SQL Server and PostgreSQL, but extensions are required for richer workflows.

How does Galaxy make query visualization seamless?

After running a query in the SQL editor, click the Visualize tab. Galaxy auto-detects numeric and time-series fields, suggests chart types, and renders interactive plots right beside your code. No exports, no CSVs.

Charts live with the query, so when teammates open the script they see the same visualization and data lineage. Endorse queries, set permissions, and discuss insights in-app to keep everyone aligned.

What databases and use cases are supported?

Galaxy connects to PostgreSQL, Snowflake, MySQL, and more, with a roadmap for ClickHouse and BigQuery in 2025. Engineers use it to debug prod issues, data scientists explore cohorts, and founders prototype KPIs – all without leaving the IDE.

How can I try Galaxy for free?

Download the desktop app, connect your database, and run your first visualized query in under five minutes. The Free plan includes 100 AI completions and seven days of history. Upgrade later on the pricing page for unlimited saves and team collaboration.
