It hasn't been updated in a very long time. Constant crashes on Mojave. I have transitioned away to TablePlus and DataGrip. Too bad because it was a very good tool for quick edits.

Use the nightly
- zapzupnz 8y ago
  The last thing I want to use when dealing with data is a nightly. Yes, I have backups; those are for rainy days, not my own recklessness.
  - fluxsauce 8y ago
    FWIW I had the same reaction, then upgraded due to the Mojave crashes and discovered that the nightly doesn't update that often and is stable. It's been fine for months.
    - tomschlick 8y ago
      Same here. They really need to put out a release for it so people can auto update.
      - larryzoumas 8y ago
        Yeah the crashes in Mojave were driving me crazy. Then to my surprise I tried the test build here and its way more stable and even has multiple filters, a feature I've been wanting for years. https://sequelpro.com/test-builds https://sequelpro.com/test-builds

        What is the reason for them from releasing a stable for years? Feels like it's dead without uncovering GitHub activities.

Love DataGrip...was a big Sequel Pro fan until I started on a project with PostgreSQL and found DataGrip. Haven’t looked back. (I’m now using DataGrip for MySQL as well.)

  Have you used Postico? I have both it and DataGrip but find myself primarily in Postico for Postgres, feels lighter weight and easier to navigate
  - larryzoumas 8y ago
    Agreed that Postico is amazing. Totally worth the $40 or whatever it costs.
    - minusf 8y ago
      sadly neither postico nor tableplus can connect using an ssh certificate. this is becoming a big drawback in organisations switching to ssh certs instead of keys.
      - hyperknot 8y ago
        TablePlus definitely can connect using SSH certificate. I'm using it like that right now.
        minusf 8y ago
        after pushing "over SSH" i see only importing a private key. please note that i am talking about SSH certificate, not SSL certificate. https://ef.gy/hardening-ssh https://ef.gy/hardening-ssh
        hyperknot 8y ago
        You are right, I thought you were talking about using private keys.

Are you sure it's not actively being fixed? I see active development on GitHub with many commits. Have you reported the issue on GitHub as the website suggests?
- bithaze 8y ago
  It was fixed several months ago, apparently, but the fix still hasn't been released outside of a test build yet. There have been multiple issues opened (and closed as duplicates) but this[0] seems to be the original.

I had a lot of trouble with Mojave and the crashing you are reporting is annoying. I’ve been using their test builds the past couple months with zero problems though. https://sequelpro.com/test-builds https://sequelpro.com/test-builds
- stephen123 8y ago
  That bug is so annoying. Push a release!
  - mproud 8y ago
    What bug specifically? What is the symptom?
    - tazard 8y ago
      Not sure which the parent was referring to, but everytime I close it, it crashes.
      - danaris 8y ago
        In my experience, it's specifically every time you try to disconnect from a server. (I have connections set up for dev and production for a small project, and I try to keep the production connection open only when I need it...but if I open it, I need to keep it open or it crashes the whole app.) Will try the test build.
- tomaskafka 8y ago
  +1 - use the test builds, they work and fixed all my problems.
phowat 8y ago
That's weird. I use it daily on Mojave and have had zero crashes.
rusty_pete 8y ago
I too transitioned from Sequel Pro to TablePlus. Sequel Pro was buggy and wasn't supporting MySQL 8 properly. TablePlus has been great.
- joshuaturner 8y ago
  I tried out TablePlus, but at the time they were lacking user management. With that recent addition, it's been able to completely replace Sequel Pro and Postico for Postgres management
- h1d 8y ago
  I'm afraid SequelPro may be coming to a dead end without a real active development (night lies occur but no stable release in years without latest MySQL support.) https://github.com/sequelpro/sequelpro/issues/3037#issuecomment-398490129 https://github.com/sequelpro/sequelpro/issues/3037#issuecomm...

Seconded: TablePlus Some of what I can do in there feels like magic.
