Keira3

Cross-platform desktop application featuring a Database Editor for the AzerothCore MMORPG framework.

With Keira3 you don't have to know the SQL language in order to change contents: it will generate the SQL queries automatically for you. The SQL code will be displayed, so you can learn, and then you can copy or execute it directly to your database.

Made with ❤ and TypeScript, Electron, Angular, Bootstrap.

Inspired by

We created Keira inspired by the old indomit's Quice/Truice database editor, and by the Discover-'s SAI Editor. Our primary goal was to provide an editor with the same features that was cross-platform, so we built it as a web app.

Keira3 is the direct successor of Keira2. We kept the cross-platform promise as well as adding the possibility to execute the generated queries and simplifying the application setup.

AzerothCore Database

In order to use Keira3 you have to connect to an instance of the AzerothCore Database.

If you don't have any, you can easily create one following this guide.

Alternatively, you can use a public database of AzerothCore with read-only access. Details here.
