Not nearly as rediculous as Eclipse or Blender or the like, but it takes a few days to get comfortable. The only downside is a bit of classic FOSS UI clunk. Good luck finding another tool that can connect to MS SQL Server on MacOs that isn't garbage or money. DBeaver supports roughly anything Java supports, which is everything. My original search for a tool like DBeaver was from the need to connect to MySQL, Postgres, and SQL Server and not wanting to use a bunch of different tools. Great for cranking out DB migrations like a boss.Ībility to maintain many database connections at once, and support for doing stuff before/after connecting which we widely abuse to setup SSH and VPN connections. SQL generation from structure or data edits. Well integrated ER diagrams that let you quickly see parts of the db related to current table, or the whole thing if you want. Managed to convert my whole office to it in a matter of months. I've done a lot of searching and haven't found anything close. installed, couldn’t get past the splash screen which said it couldn’t find the application serverĭbeaver is the best FOSS database UI tool hands down. has lots of errors when used with PostgreSQL 11 Downloaded & tried it, typical java app Wanted me to enter an email address just to use the software, became privacy concerned about how much stuff would get sent to their servers Not much different from SQL Workbench, just use that instead? Was the easiest to get connected initially, but then found bug that showed it wasn’t using socket connection as expected.
Razorsql vs dbeaver drivers#
JDBC drivers can not use a socket connection they require you to list the DB in the connection Most clients are Java, which is a pain b/c Let me connect to the server and then select my dB. Plus, I can't stand having to manage connections to each database instead of to each server. I don't prefer these Java tools that force you to manage JDBC drivers and usually share dated and cluttered UIs.

I spent hours on Sunday looking for something that worked as well as pgadmin3. I can't believe how hard it is to find a good database client tool that runs on Linux.
