#12Can anyone suggest any better alternatives, even paid ones? I absolutely love PGSQL and it's a great software, but it severely lacks in good tools.
I have used DbSchema and it's worked great for me. Highly recommend.

I use DataGrip, part of the IntelliJ / Idea Suite. It’s a bit fiddly in terms of UI, but that’s a one time learning curve - everything else from there is a breeze. Also has excellent integration with the other Idea tools, if you use them.

> it severely lacks in good tools.
I'm happy with pgadmin4 3.1.
Liked and used pgModeler for a while now.
The pgwiki on tooling[0] contains thousands of tools. Effort is needed in cleaning it up. Also found a cleaner version on postgresql.org[1]
> even paid ones?
Heard good things about navicat.

edit: what kind of db tools are you looking for?

It requires multiple clicks and seems to depend on JavaScript for showing the price. A simple price list, with platform wise variations, would've been "customer friendly".

#18Earlier quoted context omitted.
No, you can't. You can download the source code and build it yourself, or you can download a binary demo, or you can pay for a binary. I used this tool a lot on Arch which had PKGBUILD for it on AUR but I wasn't able to build it on MacOS.
But you don't have to pay for a subscription. You pay for a binary plus x months of updates up front--it's not subscription software.
To be fair, it is described as "Expires in 6 months" on the purchase page which makes it very unclear if the binary you downloaded is going to stop working. If it does stop working then it's not unlike subscription software.
I was actually vaguely contemplating purchasing it until that uncertainty made me think paying them might give me something worse than free (ie: something that would break at an inopportune moment in 6 months).

It's ugly and dated but I still love SquirrelSQL. (It's not PGSQL specific, but that's part of why I love it ...)

#20Is there any chance the Windows demo binaries can be made portable?
That would make it easier for users not having administrator access to evaluate if PgModeler fits their requirements. :)
