Database Manager / SQL Console
A secure SQL console and database structure browser inside Odoo, designed for technical users who need to inspect tables, review metadata, execute controlled queries and export results without leaving the Odoo backend.
Database Browser
Explore PostgreSQL schemas and tables directly from the Odoo backend with a clean side panel.
Structure Inspector
Review columns, constraints, indexes, RLS policies, rules and triggers with collapsible groups.
Role-Based Access
Separate read-only query users from database managers with controlled command permissions.
Export Results
Export query results to Excel or CSV, including safe conversion for JSON, arrays and complex values.
Main Features
The module provides a practical database administration layer for support, development and auditing tasks inside Odoo.
SQL Console
- Execute SQL queries from the Odoo backend.
- Configurable query limit and pagination controls.
- Search within query results.
- Execution duration and returned row count feedback.
- Simulation and rollback option for controlled testing.
Table Metadata
- Schema and table listing from PostgreSQL catalog.
- Collapsible table structure groups.
- Columns with data type, nullable flag and default value.
- Constraints, indexes, triggers, rules and RLS policies.
- Designed for large tables with many columns.
Exports and Saved Queries
- Export current query result to XLSX.
- Export current query result to CSV.
- Safe serialization for dictionaries, lists, tuples and JSON values.
- Save useful queries for reuse by database managers.
- Central menu for saved SQL queries.
Security Model
Database Query User
For users who only need to inspect data and run safe read-only statements.
- Allowed: SELECT, WITH, SHOW and EXPLAIN.
- Blocked from INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and DDL commands.
- Cannot create or manage saved queries.
Database Manager
For technical administrators who require broader database management permissions.
- Can execute commands allowed by the module policy.
- UPDATE and DELETE are protected from running without WHERE by default.
- Can save queries and access the saved query menu.
How It Works
1. Open the Console
Go to Database Manager and open the SQL Console from the Odoo backend menu.
2. Inspect the Schema
Select a schema and expand a table to inspect columns, indexes, constraints and triggers.
3. Execute Queries
Run SQL with limit, pagination and security validations according to the assigned group.
4. Export or Save
Export results to Excel or CSV and save reusable queries when your profile allows it.
Installation
- Copy the module folder into your Odoo custom addons path.
- Update the Apps list.
- Install Database Manager / SQL Console.
- Assign either Database Query User or Database Manager to authorized users.
Technical Notes
- Compatible with Odoo 18.
- Uses Odoo backend assets with OWL components.
- Uses PostgreSQL catalog tables for structure inspection.
- Includes translation files for Spanish and Spanish Guatemala.
- Python dependency: xlsxwriter for Excel export.
FAQs
Can a read-only user execute UPDATE or DELETE?
No. The Database Query User group is limited to read-only commands such as SELECT, WITH, SHOW and EXPLAIN.
Can the Database Manager run UPDATE or DELETE without WHERE?
By default, the module blocks UPDATE and DELETE statements without WHERE. The special override option must be explicitly enabled when the administrator needs to allow it.
Does the structure browser show all metadata expanded by default?
No. Table metadata groups are collapsible to keep the interface compact, especially for tables with a large number of columns.
Can results with JSON fields be exported to Excel?
Yes. Complex values such as dictionaries, lists and JSON-like structures are serialized safely before being written to Excel or CSV.
