Are there other macOS apps that can read both MySQL and SQLite?

PopSQL ( https://popsql.io ) supports macOS/Windows/Linux and certainly supports MySQL and SQLite. [disclaimer: co-founder]

Cool, thanks

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think this is a misunderstanding. I am not building a client where you type in commands. I am building a client where you can browse tables like spreadsheets. Maybe 'PhpMyAdmin for the terminal' is a better description then 'Vim for databases'?

Sorry! My comment before edit excluded the note about DBCLI being a different type of product (: "Vim for databases" is very clear.

Awesome. I'll send you an email.

I would like to stay in the terminal even when working on a DB. But I never found a decent terminal based DB client with a GUI (TUI?). So I am writing my own at the moment. A terminal based database editor. It's a bit like vim for databases. If you too are interested in such a thing, let me know.

Wow, I am so excited about this app. I have to wonder, how come the market hasn't supported something like this in the past - or more specifically - why hasn't SequelPro thrived and evolved to eventually support Postgres? Are developers too cheap?

Well, that's the downside of open source, you can't really demand for quick support & development. When we waited for so long, we needed to build it ourselves.

Please see my reply to cdubzzz. I'm not building a CLI but rather a 'PhpMyAdmin for the terminal'.

It would be cool to see a plugin or native support for visualizing query plans.

Right, that'd be a big leap since we also plan to make it viable for non-tech users. If we put those kinds of feature in plugin, we can keep the app simple & clean.

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...

Looks like this is a feature of MS SQL (I meant, only on MS SQL). I will read it and if it easy to implement, I will include it in TablePlus. Otherwise, we can add it by developing a plugin.
