Why dbx Beats Navicat and DBeaver: A Fast, Tiny, AI‑Powered DB Client

The open‑source dbx client, built with Rust, Tauri 2 and Vue 3, delivers a 15 MB binary that launches in under two seconds, uses about 80 MB RAM, supports 40+ databases, offers a CodeMirror‑based AI‑assisted editor, and outperforms heavyweight tools like DBeaver and Navicat in speed, resource usage, and feature completeness, though it lacks advanced DBA features such as performance monitoring and robust ER‑diagram editing.
