Database Explorer: From Schema Browser to Full Data Workspace
Database Explorer in DBConvert Streams is a free workspace for browsing databases, files, S3 storage, SQL results, and editable data grids before and after migration or CDC.
DuckDB
DuckDB Solved the Query Engine. The Workflow Around It Is Still Messy.
DuckDB made cross-source SQL practical. But once queries need credentials, schema inspection, exports, and repeat runs, the workflow around the query becomes the hard part.

Why Every Database Tool Uses Hardcoded Schema Names (And Why That's Actually Good Engineering)
Why PostgreSQL tools hardcode schema names, why dynamic detection fails, and what we learned while building DBConvert Streams 2.0’s schema navigation engine.
CDC
Understanding Change Data Capture (CDC): Benefits and Best Practices
Change Data Capture (CDC) tracks modifications made to database information in real-time, ensuring data consistency across multiple systems. Unlike traditional replication methods that copy entire databases, CDC captures only incremental changes, making it more efficient and less disruptive.
