What Mongrel ships for SurrealDB.
Native SurrealQL editor
Typed SurrealQL with syntax help, and results that keep record IDs, datetimes, decimals, and UUIDs as native values. No SQL translation layer in between.
Query inspector
Run EXPLAIN FULL and walk the execution stage by stage: scans vs index iteration, fetches, traversals, and record stats.
Related record explorer
Record links and relation tables are read as relationships. Inspect any record and preview the related documents it points to.
Document & record CRUD
Browse tables, edit schemaless and schemafull documents inline, and create or delete records with typed field values.
Schema & migrations
Manage DEFINE TABLE, FIELD, INDEX, and EVENT statements as versioned migrations. Diff saved schema snapshots to catch drift.
Bounded live queries
Subscribe with LIVE SELECT and watch changes stream in - capped, cancellable, and safe to leave open on busy tables.
TLS, mTLS & SSH
Connect over TLS or mutual TLS, or tunnel through SSH. Root, namespace, and database credentials or bearer tokens.
Streamed encrypted archives
Back up and restore whole databases as streamed, encrypted archives. Schedule them or run one-off exports.
AI explain & rewrite
Paste a query and its inspector output. The assistant proposes indexes and rewrites traversals - you approve before anything runs.
