How is this any better than any other database admin tool?

  The chief goal was to make Postage faster than anything else. We've largely succeeded.

    That's a bold claim. Do you have any data to back that up? Benchmarks? Comparisons? What about resource usage? There's not much information on neither your github page nor your website itself. Just trying to find a reason why I should use this tool over my existing PostgreSQL admin tools.

      https://github.com/workflowproducts/postage/blob/master/Facts_About_Electron_Performance.md https://github.com/workflowproducts/postage/blob/master/Fact... But my favorite features are autocomplete, the ace editor functions like non-contiguous find/replace and the beautify button.

        That doesn't show much besides that you're basically on par with the latest version of pgAdmin. What about real benchmarks here. "Faster than everything else." In what ways? Faster queries, analysis, what? All I see in that doc is slightly faster start up times than pgAdmin. Also why are you instantly downvoting my comments? I'm genuinely interested here, not criticizing your work.

          I'm upvoting everybody, i don't even have downvote privledges. As I said, our goal was to be faster than anything else, i meant for your average development tasks. We spent most of our effort on optimizing query results but if you see something slow just file an issue and we'll look into it. You have to realize, at the time we wrote it, i think seven years ago now, it was blindingly fast compared to pgadmin3, and Pga4 is still broken on large result sets. Many other tools use odbc or have architectural issues that slow them down.

          Also why are you instantly downvoting my comments? Users you reply to can't downvote your comments. The software doesn't show the down arrow for replies to one's own comments.

          I downvoted your remarks, due to the egregious sealioning.

        Also literally the first thing that happened once I opened it: http://i.imgur.com/v3xH9ye.png http://i.imgur.com/v3xH9ye.png Not the greatest first impression to be honest. Browsing through the app itself though does seem to be about feature complete with pgAdmin, however I don't really see it noticeably faster, at least for the things I mess with on a regular basis, so I guess I'll just have to take your word for it. In any case, it seems like a decent alternative to pgAdmin.

          Wow, how did you get that to happen? Could i get you to give us OS version?

    Hello, thank you for this app it is really great. I am not sure if it is really faster than anything else however it definitely feels faster than any other postgresql client I've tried (ok, except HeidiSQL but HeidiSQL has various problems with Postgresql). Great work! P.S One feature I'm missing is to extract the selected data (in the Edit Data view of a table) to a CSV or to the clipboard - is it possible? I wasn't able to find out how to do it :/

      Select the records you want and just use ctrl-c on win or cmd-c on mac
