this is so close to vscode UI, that I wonder - how difficult would it be to implement something like this on top of the vscode plugin system ?

#52Didn't expect to see a electron app for this.
I don't know why, but I was expecting something based in Java.
Just looked at the Github language stats for this project:
TSQL 98.5% JavaScript 0.6% PLpgSQL 0.4% Vue 0.3% CSS 0.2% HTML 0.0%

#53And here I am working on a Beekeeping app that I was going to call that. I guess I'll call it SQL Studio instead.

#54Looks fantastic, really nice web design as well.
Makes me want to download it, even though I don't have an immediate need for this kind of tool.

#55I 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.

#56Looks nice! Running on Ubuntu 18.04.
I see a lot of promise, but I've found 2 big issues right away:
1. I can't see how to manually edit data in the tables
2. The pagination (bottom right) doesn't work at all

#57Hey 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…
I have a couple of feature requests that nothing else seems to be able to do:
1. Parameterised queries (ideally with an ability to customise the syntax for the placeholders - we use :param for named parameters). All of our production queries are parameterised, and it would be awesome to be able to copy and paste them into this kind of tool, and run them unmodified. Especially as they sometimes use the same parameter in multiple places, so updating them.
2. A full editor control (e.g. Code Mirror, Monaco, or Ace) for editing SQL queries. Specifically I really want multiple cursors for editing queries quickly and efficiently.

#58I got pretty excited about trying this out, since I've been using a no longer maintained (and pretty buggy) app called Sequel Pro.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.
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.

#59Only the obnoxious "dark theme" -> removed

#60Nice, congrats on the launch.
One thing I've been wanting for a while is a pluggable database client. I find being able to "see" a database helps me understand structure and concepts more.
With FoundationDB one of the things that I've really struggled with is visualising the layers of the schema. I doubt there's a market for a FoundationDB GUI client, but being able to write a plugin for an existing client (I don't have good GUI skills) would be a great option.
