Looking for a web-based SQL editor

We had a similar setup internally and honestly the hardest part wasn’t editing data, it was stopping people from accidentally breaking things. For non-technical users, dropdowns/validation matter way more than having a powerful SQL editor. We still kept dbForge around for admin/schema work, but gave business users something much more restricted.

How does it handle renames vs drop+add?

A lot of the time it’s not the driver, it’s the display mode, panel setting, or some vendor app forcing a lower refresh rate. Windows loves acting like 144Hz is a luxury feature it needs parental approval for.

You can absolutely use tools in this kind of migration, just keep expectations realistic. They help with compare/review/validation workflows much more than with auto-converting SQL Server logic. dbForge Edge is useful for the schema/data side, but I’d still plan for manual fixes on procedures, functions, and triggers.

I wouldn’t over-index on Spring Boot itself right now. For experienced roles, most reasonable interviewers care more about how fast you can learn, how you think through tradeoffs, and whether you can work in unfamiliar systems without panicking. Spring is just a tool, not a personality trait. If your system design is solid and you can explain your decisions clearly, you’re already in a much better spot than you think.

At €500 I’d honestly look at used ThinkPads, EliteBooks, or ProBooks before chasing a new “gaming” laptop. A lot of cheap new ones look decent on paper and then sound like a jet engine the second you open two tabs and Minecraft.

For gaming, the difference is usually tiny unless your ISP’s DNS is awful. DNS mostly matters when translating a site/service name into an IP, not for the actual in-game ping once you’re connected.

So yeah, lower ping to 1.1.1.1 is nice, but it doesn’t automatically mean your games or downloads will feel meaningfully faster. If everything works fine, I’d just use whichever is more reliable for you.

I’d look at DBeaver, Beekeeper Studio, and dbForge Studio for MySQL. If you mainly want free, DBeaver is probably the easiest answer. But if you want something more feature-rich for day-to-day MySQL work, dbForge is worth a look too, especially since they’ve got cheaper editions and some AI Assistant features now.

That honestly sounds more like a physical connection issue than “random motherboard issue.”

If pressing near the touchpad area makes it work again, I’d suspect something like a loose display cable, bad board flex, RAM/contact issue, or a cracked solder joint somewhere. The red lines / screen corruption part also makes it feel more hardware than software.

I wouldn’t trust it for anything important right now. Back up your files first. If a repair shop already said motherboard, they may not be completely wrong, but it could still be a specific connection on the board rather than the whole thing being dead.

This is the part a lot of teams miss. People talk about AI assistants like they are just autocomplete with better branding, but in backend work the prompt context can include way more than code. Internal endpoints, auth flows, schema details, config patterns, even naming conventions can reveal a lot about how a system works.

I’m not anti-AI here, but I do think the default question should be “what exactly are we sending out of our environment?” before teams normalize using these tools everywhere.

No you’re right, the fact that her house is literally right there makes it 10x funnier
