I think pgcli (for postgres) still remains a better option. It has code completion.

$29 for running sending queries to the sql client through sublime? I'll pass.

Pgcli is good, but there are two "modes" to use DB. One is interactive querying, which pgcli is good for.

The other is developing a complex query and running it again and again, while watching the result, or maybe running multiple queries and comparing the result, etc. That is more of a task for text editor that can execute queries than a CLI query tool.

Now, I don't think this is worth the 30 USD. Something like the upcoming 0xDBE might be worth it, especially since you can avoid stupid Oracle SQL Developer that hands every time there's a network problem.

Pretty cool but that pricing... I'd be happy to shell out $9 if the trial was successful and the app felt more useful than the alternatives. But $29?

If you're paying for a JB IDE, you already have all the features of 0xDBE.

Anyone knows what is current status of Sublime Text? I think the version 3 is already in beta for years.

Sublime Text is fine :)

Edit: I'm a moderator on the forums. I've been in touch.

I've been using Jetbrains' 0xDBE recently (https://www.jetbrains.com/dbe/) and I highly recommend it:

  * it works with IDEAVim
  * it uses JDBC so you can easily connect to "non-standard" DBs by using any JDBC driver
  * it's better than psql/vsql/... for dealing with complex queries (you have a real editor rather than limited readline support, if you're lucky enough to have readline support)
