- brianwawok 9y agoOr datagrip is quite nice.
- scrollaway 9y agoDatagrip is nice but not free :( I'd like to turn the HN community's attention on sqlectron: https://github.com/sqlectron/sqlectron-gui/ https://github.com/sqlectron/sqlectron-gui/ It's a nice electron-based app which works with postgres, sqlite, mysql, redshift, sqlserver and cassandra. It's not perfect but it's free and needs some development help if anyone good with react feels generous :)
- elmigranto 9y agoIs that the one running `select * from table` when you click on it?
- scrollaway 9y agoNo?
- brianwawok 9y agoIt's free as in you already paid for it if you get the toolbox ;) Life is too short to use tools that don't work well to save a few hundred bucks a year.
- kennydude 9y agoSQLPro Studio on Mac is nice as well, and it's on SetApp
- timlyo 9y agoWhat's wrong with pgAdmin4?
- pvdebbe 9y agoSuper bloated webview-as-a-desktop-app that makes electron apps look like they run hand-optimized assembler code. I go for DBeaver, works marvellously.
- scrollaway 9y agoWhat a disaster pgadmin4 is. Had to package it for Arch recently. I legitimately don't understand why they don't use Electron. Irrational hate of all things JS? There's a right tool for the job and this is it.
