RizomaDB

Getting started ​

This page takes you from nothing to editing a value in a table. The same walk-through is built into the extension: run RizomaDB: Open the Guide (the book icon in the connections view) and it takes you step by step, with buttons that do each step for you.

1. Install ​

Install RizomaDB from the VS Code Marketplace (search for "RizomaDB", or run code --install-extension AnderCMD.rizomadb), or download the .vsix file from the latest GitHub release and install it:

bash
code --install-extension rizomadb-1.2.2.vsix

To build it yourself:

bash
pnpm install
pnpm --filter rizomadb package          # creates apps/extension/rizomadb-<version>.vsix

It also installs in VSCodium, Cursor and Windsurf (use their own --install-extension). Reload the window afterwards.

2. Create a connection ​

  1. Click the RizomaDB icon in the activity bar, then the + button (or run RizomaDB: New Connection).
  2. Pick your engine by its logo. Use the search box if the list is long.
  3. The form is already filled with the usual values for that engine (host localhost, the default port, the typical user). Change only what differs, and add the password.
  4. Choose the environment: dev, staging, prod, or New environment… for your own (for example qa). Production asks before writing; see Connections.
  5. Test connection checks it without saving. Save connection stores it. If it cannot connect, you can still choose Save without connecting.

3. Explore ​

The connections tree groups your connections by type (relational, documents, key-value…) and shows each engine's logo. Expand one to see its tables (or collections, keys, indices…) and views. The status bar at the bottom shows the connection in use and its database.

4. Open a table ​

Click a table. The rows open in the lower half of the window. The tabs above the grid show Data, Properties (columns, types, indexes), Relations (foreign keys both ways) and DDL (the CREATE script). See The results grid.

5. Run a query ​

Run RizomaDB: New Query, write a statement and press Ctrl+Enter (⌘+Enter on Mac). Every statement also gets a Run button above it. See The query editor.

6. Edit a value ​

In a table that has a primary key, double-click a cell (or press Enter or F2), type, press Enter. The change waits as a pending change: review the SQL, then press Apply. Production and staging ask for confirmation first. See Editing data.

7. Make it yours ​

Run RizomaDB: Open Settings for the settings screen: language, where results open, rows per page, environments and more. See Language and settings.

Good to know ​

  • Nothing is sent anywhere. There is no telemetry and no account. Passwords and tokens live in VS Code's secret storage, never in a settings file.
  • If something does not work as you expect, see Troubleshooting.
