When I switched to Linux full time, I had to ditch Heidi as they didn’t have a Linux version. I actually prefer dbeaver now, Heidi had some odd defaults (default collation especially) which need attention but you don’t realise it until too late. It also was a bit crashy here and there.
DBeaver has the worst name in history but it can do everything Heidi does and doesn’t fall over every 20 minutes. The buttons are all over the place and it’s harder to navigate than Heidi but it’s also standard on a few distros.
I’m glad it has some competition though. If you’re working with sql server Microsoft have really dropped the ball with SSMS and don’t talk to me about azure data studio it is a undergraduate project that got a C.
I was switching a lot between SQLite, pawl, Marian and sql server and dbeaver is excellent on all of them
- Aeolun 1y agoI feel like dbeaver works with all of them. It never feels like a pleasure to use, unlike Heidi, which actively feels like it makes working with databases nicer.
- ChocolateGod 1y agoI've found Dbeaver struggles with large tables or databases with a lot of tables, often going out of memory unless I click the GC button every 10 seconds. Meanwhile Heidi is fine.
