Beekeeper Studio 5.7 - Folders, Editable Query Results & 3 New Databases

Download Beekeeper Studio 5.7
Wow, this release got a little out of hand. Two major features and a looooot of bug fixes and tweaks in this release.

Headline Features

Folders for saved connections and saved queries. You can create folders and subfolders, drag-and-drop to reorder, pin and unpin, right-click for the common actions, and the expand/collapse state sticks across restarts.

Editable query results. Tweak data directly from the results of a SQL query - no more jumping over to the table view just to fix a typo. We analyze the SQL and map the result columns back to their source tables. Works alongside manual commit mode, and the Apply/Discard controls behave consistently with table edits.

New Database Support

BedrockDB from Expensify, which is a sharded SQLite behind a MySQL proxy.
ScyllaDB connection support with docs and integration tests.
Greengage (Postgres fork) integration.
DuckDB is out of beta.

Smaller Improvements

CockroachDB JWT auth. Lightweight JWT authentication with a re-prompt on new connections. Picked from the auth method dropdown. Thanks @hector833!
Windows Pageant agent forwarding works again. This was broken for folks using PuTTY’s agent for SSH tunnel keys. Thanks @jeffcaiz!
SSH auth mode switching no longer leaks stale credentials when you flip between modes.
URL-encoded credentials are now decoded correctly when pasting connection URLs. Fixes #3840.
Redis connection URLs now accept redis:// and rediss:// schemes.
Folders for workspaces can now be deleted from inside the app (Cloud), so you don’t have to hop over to the web dashboard for housekeeping. Fixes #1317.
Plugin system controls for admins. New [pluginSystem] config section lets you disable the plugin system entirely, disable community plugins only, or pin an allowlist of permitted plugin ids. Bundled first-party plugins keep working when the system is off. Fixes #3859.
Onboarding notification for new users to make it easier to find the getting-started guide. Fixes #3583.

Bug Fixes

SQL Server: dotted table names (e.g. dbo.my.table) are now bracket-wrapped on export so they don’t get mis-split. Fixes #3722.
MySQL: CHARACTER SET and COLLATE clauses are stripped from non-string ALTER statements.
MySQL: friendlier error text when you hit “access denied for user”.
Oracle: fixed a crash in the utility process when the thick client hit a connection retry, and fixed connecting through an SSH tunnel.
Cassandra: the driver client now shuts down cleanly on disconnect.
Mac: delete row keyboard shortcut works again. Fixes #3629.
Delete multiple selected rows is fixed. Fixes #3550.
Add relations shortcut no longer also adds a column. Fixes #3521.
Copy column name from the sidebar was copying the table name. Fixed.
Structural table cells now have right-click copy.
JSON viewer search is now case-insensitive. Fixes #3547.
SQL export converts bit column values to integers. Fixes #3673.
Drag handle cursor now shows grab on hover. Fixes #3165.
Drag-and-drop to root in the connection list works correctly, with visual feedback when a move completes.
Imported connections land in the personal folder rather than at an ambiguous root.
Auto-disconnect now notifies you when it happens, so you’re not left wondering why a query failed.
Mac menu icons render correctly (fixed by assigning proper roles), and the app menu order on non-Mac platforms is also tidied up.
Bastion/jump host config is tucked into an expandable section so the connection form is less noisy, with a missing config added back.
Flatpak users get a platform warning system explaining file permission behavior, plus SQLite-specific docs.
Pin/unpin and duplicate are now available as right-click actions on connections and queries.

Under the Hood

CI: ARM64 builds moved from self-hosted to GitHub-hosted runners. node_modules is now cached across test, build, and Windows jobs, which should speed up pipelines noticeably.
Windows integration tests now cover Pageant agent forwarding end-to-end.
Bedrock integration tests are wired up via testcontainers.
Security: doc updates plus a pile of dependency bumps (handlebars, dompurify, node-forge, brace-expansion, protobufjs, basic-ftp, axios, rollup, lodash, electron, happy-dom, ajv, qs, yaml, path-to-regexp, @xmldom/xmldom, picomatch, tar-fs).
AWS SDK packages upgraded to drop the fast-xml-parser advisory.
trino-client updated to clear the axios advisory.
Electron bumped to 39.8.5.
