I have used DataGrip from OSX, Windows, and Linux to connect to MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server. This is what I found.
+ Multiplatform, including OSX
+ Multilingual, can connect to many DBs
+ Decent Ergonomics.
Queries don't lock up the UI.
Connection closing does not close the query window.
Doesn't crash.
- Doesn't seem to have code gen from entity.
- Not as robust as native clients.
Doesn't seem to comprehend Sql Server views and stored procedures
- A little weird about having to explicitly fetch schemas before you can browse a database. Can take a long time sometimes.
When I need to just query data, it is great. However, when exploring an unfamiliar database it gets weird and I can't rely on it to inform me in a decent way about the presence of non-table things in the database (like views and stored procedures). I would also not rely on it to administer the database.
Overall, it has quickly become my favorite DB tool, and I look forward to JetBrains filling out DataGrip's missing features.
