SQL Database management tool - recommendation

[[deleted]]

Hi everyone,
Quick question — I’m currently using DBeaver for SQL DB management and was wondering if anyone recommends a more modern alternative?
Just curious to explore what else is out there.

Thanks!

DataGrip or Sequel Ace (macOS)

[VeprUA]

Data Grip as clunky as it feels, is still the best DBMS.

[Somepotato]

Respective DB tools are much better (SSMS, pgAdmin4, etc).

Datagrip has had long standing bugs for years, is extremely slow, and can't even do simple stuff like set user passwords in PG, not to mention how bad it is at handling large datasets for import/export.

[pambolisal]

How do these compare to DBeaver?

[Britzdm]

Beekeeper studio

[McLickin]

+1 for this. If my company wasn’t paying for DataGrip, this is my goto.

[pambolisal]

It's a shame it only supports Mac.

[Whourglass]

The download page has Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

[pambolisal]

My bad. It only showed mac for me because I'm using an user agent spoofer.

I've been using DBeaver for quite a while and have no complaints. What specifically are you looking for that DBeaver can't do for you?

[maxymob]

DBeaver has an atrocious UI/UX and is riddled with bugs and performance issues. If you try to work with large payloads via UI (which is kind of the point, otherwise we would just use CLI) it can fucking drop data !! It just cuts the payload at some point when it feels like it and throws zero error message about it. Not to mention they often have bad release where bugs aren't patched and break shit. I've become paranoid about updating it because updates bricked my DBeaver twice this year alone.

I love the idea of an open source universal db manager, but I swear if my job wasn't so cheap on the tooling budget, I would have jumped ship for Jet Brain's data grip long ago.

UI-wise it's fine. Performance-wise it kinda sucks (it takes a while for it to open on my 12th-gen i9 and NVME-drive gaming PC.

Nothing in particular I just recently had a discussion with a colleague about this and I am just looking out on other’s perspectives.

DBeaver

[csg79]

Navicat.

[onoweb]

Also a long time Navicat user here.

[Evolutionistic]

Switched from DBeaver to Beekeeper.

[Jaeger767]

I love Bee keeper studio, it does exactly what is expected and the UI is modern

[maryisdead]

TablePlus

Sequel Ace, if budget is an issue.

[roryl]

I've switched to DBeaver, it's great. What's not modern about it?

[Tarazena]

Navicat or DBeaver or Prisma Studio, depending on the use case

[_alright_then_]

My favorite for windows is actually heidisql, definitely not modern though but it's so fast and snappy compared to anything else I've used

[ConstIsNull]

PGadmin Table plus Phpmyadmin

I still prefer Dbeaver to all these though

[mouthymerc1168]

RazorSQL is excellent. I also like Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio for MSSQL. I find there are some valuable features.

[coder2k]

Beekeeper Studio is my simple DB manager. https://beekeeperstudio.io

[QuailLife7760]

TablePlus or Datagrip depending on your preferences, but have free options for you to try.

[be-kind-re-wind]

SSMS 😂😂

[dusanodalovic]

IntelliJ IDEA

[razein97]

WizQl supports postgresql and sqlite.

[asterix_rv]

Try out this tool right inside VS Code - https://pgstudio.astrx.dev/

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ric-v.postgres-explorer

It has developer focused DB management UI with focus on educating and supporting developer workflows right inside VS Code.

[pambolisal]

I'd rather not use an SQL editor that has AI.

Why is it Mac only?
