## Background Add a read-only toggle for database connections that blocks all write operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, etc.) when enabled, allowing only read queries (SELECT, SHOW, EXPLAIN, etc.). Closes #889. ## Changes ### Data Model - Added `read_only: bool` field to ConnectionConfig (Rust struct, TS interfaces, and ConnectionConfigData deserialization layer) - Used `#[serde(default, skip_serializing_if = "is_false")]` for backward/forward compatibility with existing configs ### Frontend UI - Added "Read Only" checkbox in connection dialog - 7-language i18n support (en/es/it/pt-BR/zh-CN/zh-TW) ### SQL Classification (query_execution_sql.rs) - Added `is_write_sql()` with two-layer defense: - Layer 1: First-keyword check (must start with known read keyword) - Layer 2: Embedded dangerous keyword detection (catches CTE-wrapped writes like `WITH ... AS (DELETE FROM ...)`) - `FROM` keyword supported as DuckDB SELECT-less syntax indicator - Added `check_read_only()` returning descriptive error with connection name - Added 16 unit tests covering: pure reads/writes, CTE, case insensitivity, string literal masking, comment stripping, stored procedure calls, edge cases ### SQL Execution Guards (query.rs / transfer.rs) - Added `check_read_only_for_connection()` and `_multi()` helper functions with lazy name clone (only allocates when read_only is true) - 6 interception points: `do_execute`, MySQL batch, SQL Server batch, DuckDB batch, transaction execution, transfer execution ### Non-SQL Write Guards — Tauri Commands - Added `ensure_connection_writable()` helper (connection.rs) - Mongo: 6 write entry points (insert/update/delete, single + batch) - Redis: 15 write entry points (SET, DEL, HSET, HDEL, LPUSH, LSET, LREM, SADD, SREM, ZADD, ZREM, EXPIRE, FLUSHDB, delete_keys, execute_command) - execute_command uses RedisCommandSafety classification to allow safe read commands through raw command interface - etcd: 2 write entry points (put, delete) - sql_file: SQL file execution guarded - MCP Bridge: 4 write entry points (Insert/Update/Delete/SQL query) ### Non-SQL Write Guards — Web API - Local `ensure_writable()` helper in each route module - Redis: 12 write endpoints including classified execute_command - Mongo: 6 write endpoints - etcd: 2 write endpoints - sql_file, table_import, transfer: early rejection ### Test Updates - Updated ConnectionConfig construction in 7 test files with `read_only: false` initialization ## Defense-in-Depth - Layer 1: Command/Route-level early rejection (saves resources) - Layer 2: Core SQL classifier (`is_write_sql` — first keyword + embedded scan) - Layer 3: Core execution-time interception (do_execute/transfer/transaction)
DBX Node Core
Shared Node.js runtime utilities for DBX CLI and DBX MCP Server.
This package reads DBX Desktop connection storage, redacts connection summaries, builds schema context, applies SQL safety rules, and executes supported direct database queries.
Supported Runtime
Requires Node.js 22.13.0 or newer.
Direct Query Support
Direct execution currently supports:
- PostgreSQL and Redshift
- MySQL-compatible databases, including MySQL, Doris, and StarRocks
- SQLite
Other DBX connection types can be routed through DBX Desktop bridge integrations used by the CLI and MCP server.
Public Modules
import {
createBackend,
loadConnections,
getDbxDiagnostics,
evaluateSqlSafety,
buildSchemaContext,
} from "@dbx-app/node-core";
The package is intended as a shared implementation layer for official DBX Node packages. Applications should prefer @dbx-app/cli for terminal workflows and @dbx-app/mcp-server for MCP clients.
