Clutch update: a video walkthrough (PostgreSQL, JDBC, row editing, JSON hover preview)

A while ago I posted about Clutch, a database client for Emacs: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/s/fcKUdfBBN5

Several people asked how it actually feels to use, so I recorded a walkthrough (about 4 minutes, English captions):

https://youtu.be/eVyr1dLExOw?si=s8DRwUj18XBl7-Q9

What's in the video:
\- Run SQL from a normal buffer, results in an interactive grid
\- Per-column displayers (turn status codes into colored labels)
\- Rectangle select, then "Refine" to exclude rows/columns before copying as TSV/CSV/Org
\- Stage inserts, updates and deletes, and review the exact SQL before anything runs
\- Optional hover preview for long JSON cells (off by default)
\- JDBC backends (the demo uses DuckDB), plus native MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQLite/MongoDB/Redis

Repo: https://github.com/LuciusChen/clutch
Install: M-x package-install RET clutch (Emacs 29.1+)

I'm the author. Feedback, bug reports and feature ideas are very welcome.
