Earlier quoted context omitted.

We planned to release a Windows version in Jan 2018. Unfortunately, we got trouble with Swift compiler on Windows (not officially supported, only Linux and Unix). We decided not to wait for Swift and rebuild all the whole thing in C/C#. That takes longer so we hope to release it soon

So why is there no Linux version?

Because Linux has too many distros. We didn't decide to use Gnome or C/C++ to build the interface. Since the team is very small, we have to focus on our best.

This looks promising, i will look forward to the windows version, but the MacOSX as a first supported platform seems a bit odd, I used to think most DBA worked under Windows/Linux.

As as a SQL Server DBA I preferred to use OSX. Freed me from the tyranny of dogfood.

I work at an Oracle shop, so this doesn’t work for me right now, but I’m looking forward to playing with it once Oracle support comes out.

It's on the roadmap and will be rolled out soon.

Can’t change the theme in the free version: fail.

Looks great! But please put up some information about who makes it. The "about us" link doesn't go anywhere. Trust is critical for such a product.

This is timely! I spend all of yesterday setting up a Windows 10 VM just to have access to MSMS. The existing field of macOS MSSQL clients are light on features, including Microsoft own cross-platform SQL Operations Studio.

Question: Does TablePlus have a way to create a linked_server via the GUI?: https://www.sqlshack.com/how-to-create-and-configure-a-linke...

I like what TablePlus is offering. My question is the price. $69 isn't horrible, but it is still a lot. Is this one time $69 with a long path of free upgrades or is this $69 once a year like other software I use (VMWare Fusion, Office, etc).

The pricing page shows $49 at the moment. https://tableplus.io/pricing
