Database Comparison Shouldn't Be This Hard

⏰

Manual schema comparison between dev and production takes hours and risks errors

πŸ’₯

One-way patches mean writing manual rollback scripts - risky and time-consuming

πŸ”’

No professional tools handle SQLCipher encrypted databases properly

🐧

Linux developers forced to use Wine or virtual machines for Windows-only tools

✨ Unique Feature

Bidirectional Patching with Automatic Rollback

planDB generates patches in BOTH directions automatically - unlike Red Gate SQL Compare or other single-direction tools.

  • βœ… Forward patch (Dev β†’ Prod) - Apply your changes
  • βœ… Reverse patch (Prod β†’ Dev) - Your automatic safety net
  • βœ… Download both before applying - instant rollback ready
  • βœ… No manual rollback scripts needed ever again
πŸ’‘ Best practice: Download the reverse patch before applying forward patch. If deployment fails, you have instant rollback SQL ready to execute.

SQLite ↔ SQLCipher Migration Made Easy

Add encryption to your existing SQLite databases or decrypt SQLCipher databases for development. planDB handles the entire migration process while preserving complete data integrity.

  • βœ… SQLite β†’ SQLCipher: Encrypt existing databases with AES-256
  • βœ… Preserve Everything: All tables, indexes, Datas, views intact
  • βœ… Safe Process: Verify migration with comparison before committing
πŸ’‘ Common use case: Mobile apps adding encryption for HIPAA/PCI compliance, healthcare/finance apps securing existing user data, or embedded systems adding security to production databases without database rewrites.

Frequently Asked Questions

What databases does planDB support?

planDB specializes in SQLite and SQLCipher databases. We focus on doing SQLite comparison extremely well rather than being mediocre at many databases. Support for MySQL and PostgreSQL may come in v2.0 based on user demand.

How does SQLite to SQLCipher migration work in planDB?

planDB provides three ways to migrate between SQLite and SQLCipher formats:

1. Direct Migration: Open your source SQLite database and target SQLCipher database (or vice versa), then use the migration feature to convert all data while maintaining schema structure, indexes, triggers, and views.

2. Verification First: Compare both databases before and after migration to ensure complete data integrity. planDB shows you exactly what changed during the migration process.

This is essential when adding encryption to healthcare apps (HIPAA), financial apps (PCI-DSS), or any application handling sensitive user data that wasn't originally encrypted.

Does planDB work on Linux?

Yes! planDB is built natively for Linux using Rust and Tauri. It works on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and other distributions. Available as .deb packages and AppImage format. This is the ONLY professional SQLite comparison tool with native Linux support - no Wine or virtual machines needed.

Can I use planDB on macOS?

Yes! macOS support for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) is now available. Download the .dmg file from the downloads section. Intel Mac support is coming soon - Intel users can run the Apple Silicon build using Rosetta 2 for now.

Is the 90-day beta fully functional?

Yes! All features are included in the beta with no limitations. No credit card required. After the 90-day beta period, we'll launch with paid plans (estimated $99-149/year or $199-299 lifetime). Beta testers will receive special early-bird discounted pricing as a thank you.

What is bidirectional patching and why does it matter?

When you compare two databases, planDB automatically generates patches in BOTH directions: forward patch (Source→Target) to apply your changes, and reverse patch (Target→Source) for instant rollback. This means you always have a safety net ready before applying any changes - no manual rollback script writing needed.

Can planDB handle encrypted SQLCipher databases?

Yes! planDB has full native SQLCipher support with password handling. You can compare encrypted databases, migrate between SQLite and SQLCipher, generate patches while maintaining encryption, and browse encrypted data. It's the only professional tool built specifically for SQLCipher databases.

What happens if a patch fails during application?

planDB stops execution immediately and shows you exactly what was applied and what failed. You'll see the error message and the SQL line where it stopped. Since you have the reverse patch already downloaded, you can review the situation and apply the rollback SQL if needed to restore the database state.

Can I apply patches directly or must I do it manually?

You have three options: (1) Copy patch SQL to clipboard and paste into your preferred DB tool, (2) Download as .sql file for review, version control, or automated deployment, or (3) Apply directly within planDB with safety confirmations. Choose the workflow that fits your process.

What happens after the 90-day beta ends?

We'll launch paid plans estimated at $99-149/year or $199-299 lifetime license. Beta testers will get priority access to discounted pricing (estimated $49-69/year early bird rate) as a thank you for helping us improve the product. You'll be notified well in advance with plenty of time to decide.

How can I provide beta feedback?

We love feedback! Report bugs, request features, or share your experience through the contact form below, or email us directly. Active beta testers who provide valuable feedback will get extra perks and deeper discounts when we launch.

Is there a team or enterprise license available?

We're planning team licenses for the official launch. If your organization wants to test planDB with multiple developers during beta, contact us and we'll set up a custom beta arrangement for your team.

Who are the typical users of planDB?

planDB is used by backend developers syncing dev/prod databases, mobile app developers generating migration scripts, DevOps engineers managing deployments, embedded systems engineers updating IoT devices, and database administrators working with SQLite/SQLCipher in healthcare, finance, and security-critical applications.
