Overview

NocoDB is an open-source platform that transforms any relational database into an intuitive spreadsheet interface, making database management accessible to everyone, regardless of their coding expertise. It allows users to connect to their existing PostgreSQL or MySQL databases, or to utilize NocoDB's own database solutions, providing flexibility and control over data. This tool is designed to handle large datasets, supporting millions of rows without performance issues.

The core value proposition of NocoDB lies in its ability to democratize database interaction. By presenting complex database structures in a familiar spreadsheet format, it empowers non-technical users to build, manage, and interact with databases for various applications, from internal tools to customer relationship management. It also offers robust API access, enabling developers to integrate NocoDB with other applications and build custom solutions on top of their data.
