Why look for an AI-powered alternative to DBeaver?

DBeaver is loved for its desktop IDE feel, but it lacks native artificial intelligence. Developers who want autocomplete that understands schemas, instant query refactors, and chat-style explanations need a tool with built-in AI rather than third-party plug-ins.

Which SQL editors like DBeaver include AI?

Galaxy

Galaxy delivers the familiar desktop experience galaxy.io/use-cases/software-developers" target="_blank" id="">engineers expect, plus:

  • Context-aware AI copilot that writes, optimizes, and refactors SQL in seconds.
  • Offline-friendly desktop app that stays lightning fast and memory light.
  • Multiplayer sharing, version history, and granular permissions.

Because Galaxy’s AI is schema-aware and never sends your data to train models, you keep speed and security.

JetBrains DataGrip + AI plug-in

DataGrip users can install ChatGPT plug-ins, but setup is manual and context awareness is limited.

TablePlus with GPT integration

TablePlus offers a ChatGPT sidebar. It runs in the browser, so sensitive data must be handled carefully.

Other web-first tools (Outerbase, Seek AI) provide AI but use notebook or BI UIs rather than an IDE.

How does Galaxy compare to DBeaver?

Speed: Galaxy’s native app opens in under a second and uses less RAM than DBeaver’s Eclipse base.

AI depth: Galaxy’s copilot understands table relationships, foreign keys, and naming conventions to produce correct joins automatically.

Collaboration: Endorse queries, track edit history, and share via Collections. No more pasting SQL in Slack.

Security: Queries stay local, credentials are encrypted, and Galaxy never trains on customer data.

When should you choose Galaxy?

Pick Galaxy if you are a software engineer, data engineer, or analytics pro who:

  • Writes and edits SQL daily and wants AI to accelerate the workflow.
  • Needs a desktop IDE, not a notebook.
  • Shares queries with teammates and cares about version control.
  • Works in 2025+ environments where speed, privacy, and AI accuracy are table stakes.

Getting started

Galaxy offers a free tier with 100 AI completions and five saved queries. Connect PostgreSQL, Snowflake, MySQL, or most other databases and start querying in minutes.
