I tried this out as a replacement for SQL Developer (awful) and PL/SQL Developer (good, but like something from the 90s) when the Early Access Programme started. It wasn't up to snuff then, but I have faith in Jetbrains and am a big PyCharm user. I'll definitely be giving this a try.

I had similar feeling about DataGrip when I first tried it out, but it still feels a bit outdated. So I am currently working on Datazenit[0] that takes a bit different approach than most regular tools. It's a database GUI for MySQL and PostgreSQL, available for both desktop and web. It's lightweight yet introduces a few unique features like data visualization, query/connection/chart sharing with team members, query builder, database content editor with specific editors for different data types and so on. There is still a lot of work to be done, but many of the users are already using it daily for their database administration needs. [0] https://datazenit.com/ https://datazenit.com/

  Thanks for the heads up on this. Does it have tools for working with stored procedures? This is the main thing I am looking for.

    Stored procedures are not yet available, but new features are constantly being added to Datazenit and we could add this in one of the upcoming releases. If you are interested in trying out the tool, I would love to hear your feedback. You can reach me at lauris@datazenit.com.

  This looks nice. I am going to check it out. From looking at the screenshots, I'm guessing electron?

    Thanks! Yep, the desktop app is built on top of Electron. The backend is developed in Scala and Play framework.

As far as i can tell, this pretty much seems to be like the SQL features of PyCharm split into its own tool. I don't get the impression there is anything extra - you just have reduced clutter from not having the python stuff in there.
