Future of DB Manager

Hi Everyone,

Is there a roadmap and a future for the QGIS DB Manager?

Has the removal of this extension been considered? Can we rely on it for the next LTRs ?

IMHO, I find it very useful for managing virtual layers, but for managing PostGIS layers, it’s a bit more limited than PgAdmin.

Code repo: QGIS/python/plugins/db_manager at master · qgis/QGIS · GitHub

AFAIK the goal is to remove definetly this legacy code and rely only on PyQGIS API for sql and database connection management.

There is a sheet to track features state: DB Manager Plugin functionality matrix - Google Sheets

I’m not sure what the current status is, but QGIS developers since 2022 have been discussing demoting “DB Manager” to a non-official plugin, once all the functionality is made available via the Browser Panel:
