  DBeaver is great for MySQL databases. HeidiSQL is another good one for MySQL databases. pgAdmin is not good.

  1990s Java swing clunky UI... would rather use CLI IMHO.

    it's not swing, it's SWT that is why it has the native look
    • ken 6y ago
      It may be a reliable and useful application, but it definitely does not have anything close to a "native look".

  I like SequelPro. The UI much simpler, powerful, but it's inactivated, nobody working on it to update for new macOS :(
  • HatchedLake721 6y ago
    Which is a big shame. I'm happy to $$$ pay for Sequel Pro, but it's been abandoned for 1-2 years now?

      Last commit to master was 7 months ago. Judging by the pull request activity I'd say it's ripe for a community fork.

        it seems the guy releasing nightly builds even don't have permission to merge. I don't know why no one folk and release a fix version with active members

    I loved it and would pay for it. But after 3 months of restarting it a couple of times a day since the 2018 Mac update, I switched to TablePlus. I still miss SequelPro, as its search and export features where way better then TablePlus’ way.
    • paulryanrogers 6y ago
      There are nightly builds, including in Homebrew. They're not perfect but the only bug I've run into is filtering the query history.

    Nightly builds have some fixes, but it does seem to be mostly abandoned.

  I'm using it on daily basis but it's not a smooth experience. I'm not sure if it's just me that very time I switch to a new database in dbeaver and start running a different query ... more often than not it's just stuck there for more than half min and eventually told me it's not connected to the new database yet so I had to refresh the connection. For all the SQL tools I've used, dbeaver takes the the longest to realize it's actually not connected to a db. It's not fun.

    This is my only real complaint with DBeaver. You have to invalidate / refresh the DB connection so often and this is really an issue when you use Docker in development. If you do a docker-compose stop and then docker-compose up, your PostgreSQL connection will drop which means you need to reset it in DBeaver manually.

  I quite like Postico (Mac-only though) https://eggerapps.at/postico/ https://eggerapps.at/postico/
  • will_raw 6y ago
    Using Postico for long time, great so far and is also cheaper.
  • thibaut_barrere 6y ago
    It's Mac-only, but also Postgres-only! TablePlus has wider datastores support.
    • mikl 6y ago
      Postico is a lot nicer to use, though. I still use it for PostgreSQL databases, even though I have TablePlus for everything else.
      • eyelidlessness 6y ago
        As someone who likes Postico but has some frustrations with it, I've been considering giving TablePlus a try. Can you describe some of the ways TablePlus falls short compared to Postico?

  I've been using mysql workbench for a few years now. Is free, works well, is cross platform and open source.
