DBine Files

DBine v1.4.0 installers.

New

• KDB+ support: connect to kdb+ processes (plain or over TLS) and work in q: browse the tables, views, functions and variables of every namespace, run q scripts statement by statement, filter, sort and edit table rows from the grid, and watch memory and open connections in the Monitor. On kdb+ 3.6 and later, read-only connections are also enforced by the server (reval); on older servers a read-only connection only opens tables and variables. Copy connection string gives the q hopen handle and PyKX.
• Databricks sign-in through the browser: Databricks and Azure Databricks connections can sign in with Browser sign-in (SSO): DBine opens the workspace's sign-in page (Microsoft Entra ID on Azure), so your organization's SSO and MFA work without a personal access token or a service principal. The session renews itself while DBine is open.

Improvements

• Permissions to grant come from the server: in Users and permissions, the list of permissions is what that server can grant, read from its own catalog where it has one (SQL Server's sys.fn_builtin_permissions, PostgreSQL's ACLs, MySQL's SHOW PRIVILEGES, ClickHouse, Oracle, SAP HANA, Redis, MongoDB, Neo4j, Couchbase, OpenSearch…) and from the engine's documentation elsewhere, so it follows the server's version: SQL Server now offers VIEW DATABASE STATE, VIEW DATABASE PERFORMANCE STATE, SHOWPLAN and the rest. It shows only what applies to the target you pick (the whole database, a schema, a table, a procedure…), and the same list feeds New schema…. A permission can still be typed.

Fixes

• Safer spreadsheet import: reading .xls and .xlsb files uses calamine 0.38, so a crafted file can no longer crash DBine or exhaust its memory (RUSTSEC-2026-0436).
• Text fields keep exactly what you type: user names, passwords, host names, connection URLs, searches, filters and every other text field no longer get their first letter capitalized, autocorrected or spell-checked by the operating system, so demo_user stays demo_user. Shift and Caps Lock work as always. The same applies to the connection filter in the phone app.

Downloads

• Windows: -setup.exe (requires WebView2, included in Windows 10/11).
• macOS: .dmg; aarch64 for Apple Silicon, x64 for Intel.
• Linux: .AppImage (portable), .deb or .rpm.
• Android: the phone app that pairs with DBine on your computer. Install it from dbine.com or with the -android.apk below; the first time, Android asks to allow installing apps from that source (the browser or the files app).
• Linux (Flatpak): .flatpak (x86_64 or aarch64), for flatpak install --user ./dbine-….flatpak; it doesn't update itself. Built by the flathub workflow, it appears here a while after the other files.

Version 0.1.4 and later receive it through the automatic update.

• macOS: signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens without warnings.
• Windows: the -setup.exe installer is signed (Open Source Developer Marcos Panichella, Certum). While the certificate builds its reputation, SmartScreen may still ask for "More info" › "Run anyway".
• Each engine's driver (except SQLite) is downloaded the first time you connect.
