sql-archiver - TUI for backup and restore
Hi there 👋
I've been using MSSQL Server for some time now, and mostly in conjunction with Umbraco. At my work, we often pass around databases when someone is joining a project for the first time.
Most of my coworkers are on Windows, and use SSMS for their database needs. However, if you're like me (on Linux using neovim), you don't have access to this tool.
VSCode has nice extensions, but the one from Microsoft has no option to restore or backup (other than through sql scripts).
So I built sql-archiver - a TUI for backing up and restoring databases.
It's built in go, using the bubbletea library, and at the moment is only tested with MSSQL Server running in Docker. I'd love some feedback!
