The default DB tool where I work is Heidi and I switched to DBeaver because I found Heidi to be horrendously unstable. Dozens of random exceptions on a daily basis, and because it’s single-threaded a long-running query will just lock up the entire UI to the point where it triggers the “this program is not responding” dialog on Windows.
A free and open source DB management tool is still an impressive feat, but I absolutely would not trust it with anything where blowing up would have consequences.
- FpUser 3y ago>"I found Heidi to be horrendously unstable." As already said DB admin tools are not my daily driver. I either did not use Heidi intensively enough to uncover all the problems you mentioned or they've fixed those.
- boznz 3y agoNo Heidi is pretty unstable compared to what it used to be. I get 2 or 3 exceptions that require me to restart daily, the good thing is that the exceptions are caught, and you can copy out any SQL you have been working on which means you rarely loose work. I still prefer it as it is fast and has a nice UI and if they can sort the crashes, I would be a convert.
