The official VS Code companion extension for DBLens — a full-stack database schema intelligence platform.

Version VS Code License: MIT


What is DBLens?

DBLens is a powerful database schema monitoring and intelligence platform. It connects to your MySQL databases and provides:

  • 📸 Schema Snapshots — Point-in-time captures of your full schema structure.
  • 🔁 Schema Diff & Compare — Visual diff between two snapshots with rollback SQL generation.
  • 🏥 Health Scoring — Automated grading of your schema (A–F) based on best practices.
  • 🔬 Impact Radius Analysis — Before you alter a table, see every View, Trigger, and FK that depends on it.
  • 📊 Explorer — Browse tables, views, routines, triggers, and events with full structural detail.

Features

DBLens: Start Local Server

This command does everything for you in one click:

  1. Opens a new terminal named "DBLens Server".
  2. Runs npm run dev from your workspace root.
  3. Shows a notification with an "Open Dashboard" button that launches http://localhost:3000/dashboard in your browser.

If the server is already running, the command will simply bring the terminal back into focus.


Requirements

  • Node.js v18 or higher installed and available in PATH.
  • The DBLens project (Schmea_Validator) opened as your VS Code workspace folder.

Usage

  1. Open the DBLens workspace in VS Code.
  2. Press Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux).
  3. Type DBLens: Start Local Server and press Enter.
  4. Click Open Dashboard in the notification.

Extension Settings

This extension does not contribute any configurable settings at this time.


Known Issues

  • The extension assumes npm run dev is available in the workspace root. Ensure you have run npm install first.
