Conversation
LibreDB Studio connects to Materialize over the PostgreSQL wire protocol. The SQL editor works fully, including Materialize specific statements. The object browser and monitoring dashboard both depend on PostgreSQL catalog objects Materialize does not have, so those two are called out as not working rather than left to be discovered.
The object browser and monitoring dashboard restrictions documented here were bugs in LibreDB Studio, fixed upstream in libredb/libredb-studio#578. Update the tip to describe current behavior instead of the outdated restrictions.

Linking back for context: this is the same branch as #38680, which I could not reopen after pushing the fix (the reopen API rejected it and there was no reopen button available to me either). Opened this instead of leaving the fix unseen on a closed PR. |

Motivation
LibreDB Studio is an open source, browser-based SQL IDE that connects to Materialize over the PostgreSQL wire protocol. This adds it to the SQL clients page alongside DataGrip, DBeaver and TablePlus.
This reopens #38680, which I could not reopen directly through GitHub (the API rejected the reopen and no reopen button showed up for me either). Same branch, with the fix described below on top.
Description
Added a
### LibreDB Studiosection after TablePlus. The SQL editor works fully, including Materialize specific statements likeSHOW MATERIALIZED VIEWSandSHOW SOURCES. The object browser lists real tables, views and materialized views with their columns.@sjwiesman closed #38680 because the object browser and monitoring dashboard both failed outright. That turned out to be a bug in LibreDB Studio, not a gap in Materialize:
MATERIALIZEDis a reserved keyword that broke the schema introspection query, and the monitoring dashboard errored on connect instead of degrading. Both are fixed in libredb/libredb-studio#578, and the tip in this PR is updated to describe current behavior instead of the old restrictions.
