Why search for a DBeaver alternative with charts?

DBeaver is a powerful desktop SQL client, but its visualization options are limited to basic ER diagrams. If you want to explore results quickly without exporting to Tableau or Looker, a SQL editor with native charting can save time and context switching.

Which SQL editors combine editing and visualization?

Galaxy: developer-first IDE with inline charts

Galaxy’s next-generation SQL editor lets engineers write, run, and share queries up to 4× faster. After executing a query, you can flip the result grid into bar, line, or area charts for quick sense-checks-no extra BI tool needed. Galaxy’s context-aware AI copilot, role-based sharing, and GitHub sync make it a productivity upgrade over legacy tools. AI Copilot Pricing Download

PopSQL

PopSQL offers a collaborative cloud editor with basic chart types tied to saved queries. It is popular for teams that live in the browser but lacks an offline desktop IDE experience.

JetBrains DataGrip + Database Tools

DataGrip users can install the Database Tools and SQL plugin suite to render simple bar and line charts. Setup is less seamless than Galaxy or PopSQL and requires a JetBrains license.

TablePlus (Charts plugin)

TablePlus supports a third-party Charts plugin for macOS and Windows. It handles small result sets well but is not officially maintained by TablePlus.

How does Galaxy compare to DBeaver for visualization?

Built-in charts – Preview results visually without exporting. DBeaver needs external tools.
AI copilot – Galaxy writes and optimizes SQL in context.
Collaboration – Endorse and version queries so teammates reuse the trusted one.
Performance – Galaxy’s Rust-powered desktop app opens huge schemas in milliseconds.

Galaxy’s roadmap (2025+) includes richer dashboards, recurring reports, and text-to-chart generation, making it a future-proof choice if you need more than ad-hoc visuals.

Bottom line

If you love DBeaver’s speed but crave inline visualization, Galaxy is the closest drop-in replacement, with PopSQL and DataGrip as viable browser or JetBrains options.
