SequelPro is the gold standard. I've used it for years, and I love it. Unfortunately, like many developers, I'm slowly moving away from MySQL to PostgreSQL, and

  Writing a PostgreSQL adapter for Sequel Pro is a good idea. I don't know how an adapter can fit into Sequel Pro's architecture though. I'll take a look at Sequel Pro's codebase and consider this approach. Any help would be appreciated!

  Can't emphasise this enough. SequelPro is absolutely the best part of using MySQL. I'd to would love to pitch in for a SequelPro-esque GUI tool for PostgreSQL

  Sadly it looks that SequelPro was never built as a platform for cross-database support. After glancing through the source the integration with MySQL seems really tight. Also SequelPro is OSX only which is a shame because I think that Sequel is better than most of the alternatives. Hopefully Datazenit[0] will solve this and provide great cross-database, cross-platform support. Currently it is beta stage and supports MySQL/PostgreSQL, but other database systems are on the way.

    >Also SequelPro is OSX only which is a shame ... I don't think so. Actually, IMO it is better than the alternatives exactly because it does not try to be everything for everyone but keeps focus. That said, I really would like it to support other DB-engines like Postgres and SQLite too.

  Another person here willing to contribute. SequelPro is really the best database client I've used, even though it might be considered 'spartan'/simple. Panic (http://panic.com http://panic.com) gave the app a new icon, as they are using the source-code in their Coda application (http://panic.com/coda http://panic.com/coda) MySQL client.

  I had a look at doing this a while ago and ran away screaming, it's quite eye watering in terms of being agnostic. I started one myself but haven't had enough time to make the UI perfect at the moment. But I did make progress on a way to use many different types of DB's..for example https://github.com/arbarlow/crate/blob/master/Crate/Classes/DBProtocols.h https://github.com/arbarlow/crate/blob/master/Crate/Classes/... https://github.com/arbarlow/crate/blob/master/Crate/Classes/PostgreSQLAdapter.m https://github.com/arbarlow/crate/blob/master/Crate/Classes/...

  Try Navicat (http://navicat.com http://navicat.com – looks like they even have a Cyber Monday sale right now). Been using it for a couple of years now, and it's great (also "feels native", which is a must for me). There are many editions (I have "Premium Essentials", which was affordable and does all that I need). As a bonus, it connects to all the major RDBMSes.

    I used navicat for postgres briefly but was disappointed coming from sequel pro. I've moved to Valenta studio, which has a nice bonus of being free.

      For anyone else fervently googling "valenta studio", it's actually Valentina Studio: http://www.valentina-db.com/valentina-studio-overview http://www.valentina-db.com/valentina-studio-overview
