Using the Tool:

1. After setup, you can connect to your database using one of these commands:
   • For PostgreSQL: Use !pg with connection details
   • For MySQL: Use !mysql with connection details
   • For Firestore: Use !firestore with connection details
2. Once connected, you can use various database operations:
   • !tables to list all tables
   • !triggers to view triggers
   • !functions to list functions
   • !query to execute SQL queries
   • !export-db to export table schemas
   • !export-data to export table data

See the Commands section below for detailed usage examples.
