  1. Or install with Homebrew Tap the cask and install it. Later releases arrive with brew upgrade, or through the app's own updater.

    $brew tap az-code-lab/taps && brew install --cask dbclient

  2. Open it Drag the app to Applications and open it. There is no "unidentified developer" step: the build is notarized. Guide: installing
  3. Add a connection Click Add Connection under the sidebar, pick your engine or service, and paste a connection string or fill in the fields. Passwords go to your Keychain, or nowhere if you would rather be asked each time. Oracle and IBM Db2 offer to download their client libraries the first time. Guide: your first connection
Trust

Check what you downloaded.

Every build is signed and notarized. You can ask macOS to confirm it before opening.

Verify the signature

Run this in Terminal after copying the app to Applications. The answer names the Developer ID and says accepted.

$spctl -a -vv /Applications/DBClient.app

Guide: installing and verifying

Updates

The app reads the same Homebrew cask that brew upgrade does, tells you when a newer signed build exists, and installs it when you say so. Nothing is downloaded without asking.

Guide: updates

Uninstall

Delete the app, or brew uninstall --zap dbclient to remove its files too, any downloaded Oracle or Db2 client included. Saved passwords are Keychain items under dev.azcode.dbclient.connections; delete them in Keychain Access if you want them gone.
