Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about NeoSQL and its features.
What is NeoSQL?
NeoSQL is an all-in-one database development tool that provides ERD design, table management, SQL editing, and automatic source code generation in a single platform. It supports web, desktop (Windows/macOS), and offline (air-gapped) environments.
Which databases are supported?
NeoSQL supports 7 major databases—MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, SQLite, and H2—and continues to expand its coverage.
What are Forward Engineering and Reverse Engineering?
Forward Engineering automatically converts table structures designed in ERD into DDL (CREATE TABLE, etc.) and applies them to the actual database. Reverse Engineering does the opposite — it reads existing database table structures and automatically generates an ERD.
Which programming languages does code generation support?
Using the Velocity template engine, NeoSQL can generate code for any programming language including Java, Kotlin, TypeScript, and Python. Framework-specific code generation for Spring Boot, JPA, MyBatis, Vue.js and more is also supported.
Can I use it offline or in air-gapped networks?
Yes. The NeoSQL desktop app works perfectly without internet connection. It can be safely used in security-critical air-gapped environments such as finance, government, and military with no data leakage concerns.
How do I integrate with AI (MCP)?
NeoSQL supports the MCP (Model Context Protocol) standard. Simply add the NeoSQL MCP server URL and project ID to your AI development tool (Claude, Cursor, VS Code) configuration file. DB credentials are never exposed in the AI configuration, maintaining security.
Is it free to use?
NeoSQL is currently available for free as a Beta version. Upon official release, free and paid plans will be differentiated. Specific pricing details can be found on the pricing page.
How is NeoSQL different from other ERD tools (DBeaver, DataGrip, etc.)?
NeoSQL is an all-in-one platform that supports not only ERD design but also automatic code generation, AI (MCP) integration, schema change tracking, and on-premises installation. Its security architecture that never exposes DB credentials to AI, and safe DML execution based on Manual Commit/Rollback are unique differentiators.
