Live preview (in-tab demo)

◇ in-tab demo

Take the workbench for a spin in your browser against sample data; it is a demo, not a cloud detour.

This is a hands-on preview of the workbench compiled to WebAssembly, running against sample data in your tab. It is the real editor, object explorer, and result grid, not a screenshot.

Read this first: a great deal here is broken. This preview is illustrative, not representative. Getting a native, GPU-rendered SQL workbench to run inside a browser sandbox is genuinely difficult, and many, many features simply do not work in the WebAssembly build - some are missing, some are stubbed out, and some will misbehave outright. Treat anything that breaks here as a limitation of the browser port, not as how SQLly behaves on your own machine. To judge the real thing, run the desktop app.

It is also not a hosted cloud app: it cannot reach your servers, relay, or production SQL Server. Local files, Azure sign-in, credential storage, and Cloud AI stay in the desktop app, and anything that depends on the operating system - the file system, the keychain, native dialogs, background processes - is either absent or faked.

SQLly - browser preview

Loading the full app… the WebAssembly build downloads on first view.

Runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly + WebGPU - it needs a recent Chrome/Edge, Safari, or Firefox with WebGPU enabled, and it never talks to your databases. The build loads only when you open this page and unloads automatically the moment you navigate away, so it never sits idle in the background.

Demo only - not a Cloud SKU. It's a preview of the UI, running locally in your browser. Longer term there is likely to be a proper hosted product built on this, with the enterprise security controls that would demand - tenancy isolation, managed identity, audited access. None of that exists yet. For now this is simply here so you can have a quick play online without installing anything.
