FAQ
Is OrcaQ open source?
Yes. OrcaQ is positioned as a free, open-source database client. Use the GitHub repository for source-level context.
Which databases are supported?
PostgreSQL is the native first-class workflow. MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, OracleDB, and Redis are beta connectors. MongoDB, SQL Server, and Snowflake are planned.
Is Redis supported?
Yes. Redis is beta, not merely coming soon.
Where are credentials stored?
The docs and app UI describe OrcaQ as local-first. Connection credentials are stored on the user's machine rather than in an OrcaQ-hosted cloud workspace by default.
Does OrcaQ include AI features?
Yes. Orca Agent can help draft SQL, explain queries, and support analysis workflows. Configure provider keys in Agent Settings.
How do I protect production databases?
Use Environment Tags, enable Strict Mode for sensitive tags, and use safe-mode review prompts where available.
