Data Bridge Pro: database tables, edited in Excel
No CSV exports, no re-importing, no change requests for a handful of rows. Load the table, make your edits, review them, and save.
Direct connectionExcel talks to your database. Nothing goes through our servers.
Tracked editsEvery changed cell is highlighted until you save or discard it.
Checks before savingData types and required fields are validated first.
RollbackA snapshot is taken before each save, so you can undo it.
Audit logWho changed which row, when, with before and after values.
Queries without SQLA visual query builder, plus an optional AI assistant.
Where it stands today

Your data stays with you
Connections run from your PC to your database, and saved credentials are encrypted on your machine. What the AI assistant sends.
