// Index Iterate · idx_person_country
Was a full table scan over 84,210 person records. After the proposed DEFINE INDEX on country, only the 6,412 Icelandic records are read.

What Mongrel ships for SurrealDB.
Native SurrealQL editor
Typed SurrealQL with syntax help and record links you can click through. No SQL translation layer — it is the real thing.
Query inspector
Run EXPLAIN FULL and walk the execution stage by stage: scans vs index iteration, fetches, traversals, and record stats.
Graph traversal explorer
Visualize edges and record links from any starting record. Follow a -> relation to see what your query will actually walk.
Document & record CRUD
Browse tables, edit schemaless and schemafull documents inline, and create or delete records with typed field values.
Schema & migrations
Manage DEFINE TABLE, FIELD, INDEX, and EVENT statements as versioned migrations. Diff schemas between namespaces.
Bounded live queries
Subscribe with LIVE SELECT and watch changes stream in — capped, cancellable, and safe to leave open on busy tables.
TLS, mTLS & SSH
Connect over TLS or mutual TLS, or tunnel through SSH. Root, namespace, database, and record-level auth tokens.
Streamed encrypted archives
Back up and restore whole namespaces as streamed, encrypted archives. Schedule them or run one-off exports.
AI explain & rewrite
Paste a query and its inspector output. The assistant proposes indexes and rewrites traversals — you approve before anything runs.
