The job to be done
How does DevDock help with local database operations?
Inspect application schemas, find a bounded set of records, review migration state, and create or restore native database backups from the project workspace.
The Today view surfaces recent projects and saved daily workflows. Inside a project, DevDock connects registered folders, detected technologies, Docker and Git state, database operations, local security findings, and the actions you use to get back to work.
Recommended path
Review the workspace
See its folders, health, saved commands, and recent activity from one overview.
DevDock keeps the project, registered folder, working directory, execution target, and retained output connected so the same task remains understandable later.

Its sections cover choose the project or direct connection, understand the supported database engines, inspect schema before querying, find records with a constrained lookup, export and restore native backups, use laravel diagnostics and maintenance, troubleshoot without weakening safety. Use it when you are ready to reproduce this workflow with your own project data.

Questions about this use case.
How does DevDock help with local database operations?
Inspect application schemas, find a bounded set of records, review migration state, and create or restore native database backups from the project workspace. The recommended path starts with review the workspace and uses database tools, project workspace, command history.
Does DevDock replace the terminal?
No. It provides a repeatable control surface for common project workflows and can still open a registered folder in a terminal, Visual Studio Code, or File Explorer.
Does project detection run repository code?
No. Detection reads a bounded set of manifests and marker files. It does not execute package managers, build tools, project scripts, or network requests.
