The messaging is quite confusing. The title makes it seem like it took you ten years to release a first version, but the website says it’s version 3.0 and claims it’s “the leading SQL Editor […]”¹. There is a GitHub repo² but the history is quite unhelpful, with a bunch of commits named the same and some older commits after newer ones. ¹ Unless it were the only one, it would be impossible to be leading right after la…

Congratulations, 10 years is an impressive effort. With regards to the AI capabilities, there is a lot more opportunity hidden besides text-to-SQL generation like query validation, fixing, optimziation, data generation etc. Perhaps these generators can inspire you: https://www.sqlai.ai/app

Honestly, it shouldn't matter whether you took 10 days or 10 yrs. If its good its good.

The point is to communicate a large amount of personal investment - love, sweat, and tears. As opposed to someone who scraped together some side project in a weekend and hasn’t yet faced the demon horde of edge cases.

Yeah... what's up with these commits that just add a dot or ""? Looks very much like just boosting the commit count.

90% of the commits are just adding nonsense.

update to latest = 21+16

release = 4+1

bugfix = 3+2

update readme = 3+35+35+35+35+35+35+35+14

total = 309 out of 341 commits

The commits stopped at Jun 25, 2016 when it was just a "Custom JDBC Driver and Authenticator Example" and then suddenly Feb 23, 2023 it became "qStudio - Free SQL Analaysis Tool"

Looks cool.

What is the benefit of registering? I skipped it to try it out.

Was very quick looking at my local MySql database. I liked being able to run sql against some local parquet files.

Would need to support Redshift via an ssh tunnel for me to use it on a regular basis. I don't want to manage the tunnel with a different tool.
