Nice. Excited to try it out. Been using Postico for a while and having to hit a keybind for auto complete suggestions has been a drag.

Re: Show HN: Beekeeper Studio – open-source, cross-platform SQL client
#12Hey folks, This is a passion project from myself and a friend. Been looking for a slick and easy to use SQL client on Linux for a while (I wanted basically Sequel Pro, on Linux, for PSQL). Couldn't find what I wanted, so we made one ourselves. It's built on Electron using Vue.js - I know HN opinions on electron apps, but I've been surprised on how snappy the app is. It's fully open source (MIT), cross-platform (Linux…
Quite cool! Nice work :) Why an app vs. full hosted given it's Electron?
Perhaps to live up to the stated commitment that an internet connection isn’t required.

#13This is amazing! And SSL option right off the bat too? Well done. Feature request for Postgres: it looks like this version mostly displays tables in the 'public' schema. Would be great if it could display all tables and views in all schemas present in the database

#14This is awesome. I love the simplicity.
I tested it out with CockroachDB to satisfy my curiosity and it works perfectly, using the PostgreSQL driver. I think adding first-class support would be as easy as making a new driver that's the same as PostgreSQL but with a default port of 26257!

#15This is pretty cool! Better SQL clients are always welcome.
I tried with Postgres 12 and ran into 2 issues -
- jsonb columns don't seem to render properly... just get a "[object Object]".
- One specific table refused to get list anything, and there was a red "Error" in the center of the listing UI.

#16I got pretty excited about trying this out, since I've been using a no longer maintained (and pretty buggy) app called Sequel Pro.
But, Beekeeper kind of seems slow/clunky? I ran a simple query in our prod DB that returned 906 rows x 60 columns – the app completely froze up and I couldn't even scroll down to the next few rows...

Switch to Sequel Pro nightly build. You can install it with homebrew. It’s very stable despite the nightly moniker. I haven’t had a single issue with it and it resolved several issues I was having with the regular release.

#19What are some of the comparisons with MySqlWorkbench? It's the only one I have stuck around using so far, so looking to shop around for a different client to try.

> I wanted basically Sequel Pro, on Linux, for PSQL Have you seen http://sequeljoe.ohwg.net/ ? I'm also following https://github.com/ragnar-lodbrok/meow-sql closely, a C++/Qt port of the FOSS-but-Windows-only https://www.heidisql.com/ . But neither of these are really "fully baked" options. EDIT: This may have come across as the typical HN "middlebrow dismissal" so I just want to say, phenomenal work and a heartfelt…
Thanks!
