The problem
Big schemas shouldn’t mean waiting
If you work on a real enterprise database — an IFS Cloud schema alone holds 200,000+ objects — the usual ways an IDE handles the data dictionary start to show their limits.
✕
Tied to one platform
Many Oracle tools are Windows-first. On a Mac or Linux workstation that can mean a VM or a remote desktop just to browse a schema.
✕
A round trip on every click
When each tree expand and each tab asks the database again, a very large schema turns browsing into waiting.
✕
The whole dictionary in memory
Loading the full dictionary up front is fine for small schemas; when the dictionary itself is huge, it costs time and RAM.
✕
Runtimes to install and maintain
Java runtimes, .NET or an Oracle Client on every workstation — more to install, update and troubleshoot.
SQLlightspeed was built for that scale — not despite it.
¹ Without an Oracle Client, some Toad features (SQL*Plus, Data Pump, SQL*Loader and others) are unavailable. Competitor details are taken from each vendor’s own documentation as of 12 October 2026: Toad, PL/SQL Developer, SQL Developer, DataGrip, DataGrip Oracle driver. SQLlightspeed figures (about 0.1 s to sync 200,000 objects, under 50 ms to find one) are our own measurements on a 200,000-object IFS schema. Spot something out of date? Tell us at info@dbo.com.tr and we will fix it.

The product
Fast by architecture, not by caching tricks
Every design decision serves one goal: the interface never makes you wait for the database.
Speed
Built for speed, from the ground up
Every part of SQLlightspeed was engineered for one job: never make you wait. Instant cold start, a tiny memory footprint, and no lag creeping in the longer you work.
Zero baggage
No JVM. No Electron. No Instant Client.
Nothing to install besides the app. SQLlightspeed speaks to Oracle directly — no client libraries, no runtime stacks, no 2 GB IDE folder.
Search
⌘P across everything, < 50 ms
Any table, view, package or index out of 200,000+ objects — matched as you type from a local index, in under 50 ms. No round trip to the database.
Grid
Million-row virtual grid
Scroll through million-row result sets without a stutter. Rows render on demand; memory stays flat no matter how big the result.
Sessions
One Oracle session per worksheet
A long-running query in one worksheet never blocks another — and never freezes the UI. Kill, commit or roll back each worksheet independently.
DDL
Creation wizards for 16 object types
Tables, views, materialized views, indexes, sequences, synonyms, types, procedures, functions, packages, triggers, database links, scheduler jobs, directories, users and roles — each has a guided wizard that writes clean DDL for you.
⌘P — any object in the schema, found in under 50 milliseconds.
One menu, sixteen wizards — every object type covered.Sessions, wait events and blockers — live, in one panel.
Trust
Built by DBAs, for DBAs
Our team administers large-scale Oracle and IFS production environments for enterprise customers every single day. SQLlightspeed exists because we needed it ourselves — and its guardrails come from real incidents, not imagination.
PROD wears a red banner
Production connections are unmistakably marked. You always know which database you're touching — before you touch it.
Destructive statements always ask
DROP, TRUNCATE, an UPDATE or DELETE without WHERE, or a GRANT never runs on a keypress: you see the statement and Cancel is the default. On PROD you also tick an acknowledgement — and connecting to a PROD database asks first.
Passwords stay in your OS vault
Credentials are stored only in your operating system's secure credential store — never in config files, never in plain text.

An AI assistant trained on real production incidents, built right into the IDE.
lstune reads your workload and matches it against a signature engine trained on the incidents our own DBA team actually gets paged for — then tells you exactly what it found, before it becomes an outage:
Full table scan stormsa hot query loses its index path and floods I/O

Pricing
Try it free. Then one simple license.
Every installation starts with a 30-day free trial — all features, no key needed. Keep going with a monthly or yearly subscription.
macOS, Windows and Linux — the same fast, native experience on all three. No second-class platforms.
Do I need to install a JVM, Electron, or Oracle Instant Client?
No. SQLlightspeed is a lightweight native app. It connects to Oracle directly — nothing to install besides the app itself.
How does it stay instant on a 200,000-object schema?
It keeps a lightning-fast local object index, so browsing and search never wait for the data dictionary. A full sync of 200,000 objects takes about 0.1 seconds, and every search after that is answered locally in under 50 ms.
Is it safe to point at a production database?
It was designed by DBAs for production work: production connections get an unmistakable red banner, destructive statements always ask for confirmation (with an extra acknowledgement on production), and passwords live only in your operating system's secure credential store.
What is LightspeedTune?
LightspeedTune is currently in alpha. lstune is SQLlightspeed's AI-powered Oracle performance assistant. It's trained on real production incidents — full table scan storms, non-selective indexes, database link stalls, queue backlog — and flags the pattern it recognizes in your workload, with a suggested fix, right inside the IDE.
How much does it cost?
Every installation starts with a 30-day free trial with all features. After that, a license is $20 per month or $200 per year. One license covers one computer; you can move it to another computer any time. See pricing.
Can I activate it without internet access?
Yes. The app creates a request code; paste it at sqllightspeed.com/lisans from any computer that is online, and import the license file you get back. Online activations keep working for 14 days without a connection.
How do I get it?
Write to info@dbo.com.tr to start your 30-day free trial, or to order a license. We reply with an invoice and send the license key by e-mail.
