DBs
You might be a selfhoster looking for the perfect DB for your homelab.
A dev looking for that perfect framework and database to bootstrap that idea.
Or ,just’ databases for a D&A career.
Tools for DBs
Whatever your goal is, these are some Databases you can use: https://jalcocert.github.io/JAlcocerT/databases-101/
Even Before that and looking to the tools, make sure to understand what are (and the use cases) of OLAP (D&A) vs OLTP (Dev).
The structured vs object/JSON differenciation is also important…
Agpl3.0 | Database diagrams editor that allows you to visualize and design your DB with a single query.
- DBCode
You could also use the DBCode extension, and if you like ipynb, check their notebooks for DBs and related
.dbcnb
#Your database. Inside VS Code.
ext install DBCode.dbcodeUse the DBCode extension, and if you like ipynb, check their notebooks for DBs

These tools provide a graphical user interface (GUI) to interact with and manage your databases, offering a more user-friendly alternative to the command line.
To explore vector DBs we have Vector Admin, but for regular DB’s we have WhoDB

Data Stories with a Notebook and ipyvizzu
If you feel confortable with Jupyter notebooks, have a look to: https://github.com/vizzuhq/ipyvizzu-story
See an example of a data story: https://ipyvizzu-story.vizzuhq.com/latest/examples/titanic/
This is food for thought if you normally create presentations with SliDev for tech talks!
