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.

The nightlies have a lot of UI bugs, Filtering options disappear randomly, the left column is kinda weird etc. But still with all those UI bugs I prefer it over any other client.

I have not encountered any of that. And ditto on still preferring it.

TablePlus is my favorite one after trying most of those https://tableplus.com/

Once they publish the docs for how to build plugins, TablePlus is going to be the obvious choice. I can't wait for my database browser to have charting!

Did not know that was in the works, sounds awesome :)

I couldn't find any way to change schema in Postgres, and it seems like it only lists tables in the public schema by default. That does unfortunately break it entirely if you use schemas at all.

Yep. This was a compromise I made in order to launch (it took us a year to build it part time even then). Coming soon I promise!

Does it respect the user schema search path?

Tried connecting to MySQL 5.6.10a RDS Aurora cluster with username/password and SSL enabled, much as I'm able to do with other clients, but handshake fails with `140230041270248:error:100000f0:SSL routines:OPENSSL_internal:UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL:../../third_party/boringssl/src/ssl/handshake_client.cc:568`

Maybe boringssl is too new for my version of mysql supported tls protocol versions?

Passion aside, how do you plan to monetize?

There are plenty of opportunities to monetize once there are lots of users. I think with FOSS it's more important to outline how I'm NOT going to monetize. For us that means never charging for core features, eg having 'CE' vs 'EE', and never doing anything sketch with personal data.

Does not compute.

For anyone chancing on this thread, here's my recap. Note that I have little experience with these, so am trying to summarize, not give my own verdict. Competition: - DataGrip (~$150/yr, Clunky, Powerful) - TablePlus ($50, Pretty, Useful) - DBeaver (Free version, Clunky, Powerful) - SQuirrel (Free, Clunky, Usable) - Heidi (Free, Clunky, Usable) - Postico ($40, Pretty, Mac + Postgres only) - http://sequeljoe.ohwg.net…

This was basically my list. I wanted FOSS, not clunky, all databases, not abandoned.

Good FOSS dbs deserve good FOSS tooling. We're still light on features, but electron let's us move very quickly.

Good round up.

Can you file a ticket with these details and I'll add it to my bug squish marathon!

Unfortunately the node mysql driver is also not mysql 8 ready. Pr is out there though

Looks nice and I've been looking for a client that works with SQL Server and Postgres for a while now. Giving it a try for sure. Feedback: 1) When I first setup a connection and save it, the modal stays there, should probably be dismissed at that point 2) It wasn't clear how to connect, so I double clicked which worked. Maybe an explicit 'connect' button next to each connection would be nice. 3) I really like how aft…

For 3, SQL Management Studio has F5 and Ctrl+E for running the query. And support for running only The selected part of the query.

great work! TBH Perhaps the best front end for editing tables I've ever used was.... wait for it... Access 2010(!) as you could use it (via ADP) for editing MS SQL Server databases - very quick/easy to edit table content, spell check, easily import/export to tables using excel files, ctrl-f to search, spell check etc. etc. everything I've used sincehas been a lot more powerful but lacked the speed and ease of editing table content.
