Thank you for this - my team and I have been looking for a replacement to PgAdmin for quite some time now and this fits the bill exactly. Two features I thought we were going to have to give up when moving from MySQL to PG where ERD management in-app and the ease of use of MySQL workbench.

  Dbeaver is the answer. It is good enough that I no longer miss pgadmin 3. I've inadvertently become the pgadmin 3 "LTS" maintainer. A release of pgadmin 3 that was altered to support 10.x was previously provided by BigSQL. I forked it on GitHub to add TCP keepalive on client connections. At some point after that BigSQL removed the original repo. Apparently I was the only one that had forked it prior to removal, so now the few vestigial users in the world still using it are forking my fork. One has even patched it to work with 11.x, although they've offered no pull requests.

    so do you consider your pgadmin fork maintained or not? where is it?
    - topspin 7y ago
      No. I'm making no effort to maintain it. If a pull request appeared I'd probably accept it. https://github.com/allentc/pgadmin3-lts https://github.com/allentc/pgadmin3-lts Amusingly it appears the previous maintainer, BigSQL, has since forked my repo.

I tried DataGrip many times but kept coming back to DBeaver. It's just easier IMHO.

  DataGrip is a bit intimidating at first, but much more powerful.

    What features does it have over DBeaver?
    - insulanian 7y ago
      First thing that comes to mind is code completion, which is unmatched in any other tool in the space.

IMO Java is not native anywhere. I prefer to use HeidiSQL running on Wine.

  It's more native than an Electron app.
