So what's the best x-platform SQL client these days?

  DBeaver is popular if sluggish at times
• mbertschler 8y ago
  I recently discovered DBeaver and can highly recommend it. It is a bit more complicated to use than some alternatives, but really powerful. Also supports a large number of databases. https://dbeaver.io/ https://dbeaver.io/

  I like DBeaver. YMMV.
• badhombres 8y ago
  I would argue Datagrip has yet to fail me while having a ton of support for many databases. Including support for MySQL 4.0.16. I had to use that DB for my previous job about a year ago. With datagrip I just needed to download an old jar file and I had a connection automatically.

  DataGrip (not OpenSource) is pretty good.

  For Mac and Windows I really like TablePlus: https://tableplus.io/ https://tableplus.io/ First saw it here.
  • 33degrees 8y ago
    I've been using TablePlus as well. I like that it has true native UI and the redis support is handy.
  • bengotow 8y ago
    Yup - TablePlus is beautiful. I tried it for a few days and paid for it, really works wonderfully on macOS.

  A simple postgres client I'm working on in my free time: https://sanchosql.com/ https://sanchosql.com/ Linux only now but it's open source so it should be possible to compile for win/mac

  DBeaver is solid and supports the most DBs with lots of handy features: https://dbeaver.io/ https://dbeaver.io/ Jetbrains Datagrip is popular too, more intelligent but less DBs than DBeaver: https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/ https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/ If you want a web-based tool, especially for Postgres, then OmniDB is a good choice: https://www.omnidb.org/en/ https://www.omnidb.org/en/

    I'll second DBeaver.
    • pca2 8y ago
      third!
      • morenoh149 8y ago
        fourth dbeaver db support and data model diagramming
  • brylie 8y ago
    Interestingly, OmniDB is built with Django. DBeaver has support for many databases through JDBC.

  I'm a big fan of Aqua Data Studio. I'd never heard of it until my current position, but it's very nice.
• taylorwc 8y ago
  I enjoy Sqlectron. Good cross-platform support, and a terminal option if you'd prefer.
• mamcx 8y ago
  I use Valentina: https://www.valentina-db.com/en/ https://www.valentina-db.com/en/ it work well. Even work with Sql Server on osx!

  I use three tools interchangeably. DBeaver as mentioned by other comments. Squirrel SQL[0] has been around for a very long time. I have been using it for well over 10 years. Probably 15. Don't be fooled by the dated screenshots. First thing I always do it change the look and feel to Windows native then looks like any other Windows application. SQL Workbench/J[1]. Has tonnes of features, is well documented. I particularly like the headless mode which allows me to automate running of SQL statements using a batch file.
