The PostgreSQL web access terminal provides a psql-like experience in your browser. It is designed for light, ad-hoc usage — quick queries, debugging, and administrative tasks — not as a replacement for a full database client or long-running workloads.

FAQ

No. The web access terminal is not a psql client. It is a custom SQL REPL that connects directly to PostgreSQL and provides a psql-like experience, including familiar prompts and tabular output formatting. Backslash commands like \dt or \d are not supported.
