I used to love table plus. My favorite part was that you could hook a query up to a chart. Then you could have the query fetch fresh data every second to give you a live dashboard.
At the last company I worked for I made a command to ssh into our servers and extract job data. I saved the data in a local SQLite database. Then I made a dashboard in table plus to show the it in a chart that would refresh every second.
I had a real-time dashboard in about an hour once I figured out all the job info I wanted to capture. It was really cool!
Yeah, my last company paid for a subscription to this. Enjoyed using it. Don’t think there’s a massive market, but definitely lots of devs who want easy DB access and would pay $5/month.
The average true cost to acquire a single customer is in the hundreds of dollars, to pay for sales & marketing labor, advertising etc. So $5/month is nearly equivalent to "free" from a business perspective.
Databases are B2B products, not consumer products. They are commercially useful only when placed in the context of some larger business process (e.g. tracking customers/orders/goods/users/batches/events/patients/filings etc.).
We're talking about database viewers/editors, not databases in general. But also databases are used plenty in consumer products, e.g., some sqlite file that stores your app's config
And these are consumers:

For CAC statistics purposes, if a database is used in a consumer product, then the customer of database-related products is the company that makes the consumer product, not the consumer themselves.
"Software developer" typically refers to an occupation (whether self-employed or working for a corporation), so products for developers would also be classified as B2B rather than B2C.
