Interesting... did something happen today that there are 3 posts for db clients at the top of HN?

It's a SQL client miracle !

And I'm guessing it was more than DBeaver became popular and everyone felt like it was worth getting some free traffic to help boost sales.

Great app even though it crashes every time I close a window on Mojave.

I have the exact same issue with MySQL Workbench. Since upgrading to Mojave, lots of Workbench is just unstable. Probably crashes 6-8 times a day. I spend most of time in CLI now since it doesn't crash. It has helped me understand the SQL much better since I have to bang it out rather than just "confirming" what the UI decided to do for me.

I'm personally a big fan of TablePlus: https://tableplus.io

I looked into Table Plus when I found that Sequel Pro crashes more than NASCAR on a Sunday. But it’s pricing model doesn’t work for the way I work. I’m just one person, but use multiple computers simultaneously, making per-computer licensing prohibitive.

Obviously phpMyAdmin is a tire fire.

I’m still looking for a good macOS-native client similar to Sequel Pro. Bonus points if it has a usable iPad version.

Is this project still alive? they haven't had an official release since 2016 though the commit history shows some recent but unreleased work. That coupled with a lack of other RDBMS support has forced me to transition to other tools like DataGrip.

I liked the DataGrip tour, but I don’t believe in subscribing to software. Any other recommendations?

Doesn't everybody always up and downvote stories just so related ones are next to each other? It sure seems like it.

It hasn't been updated in a very long time. Constant crashes on Mojave. I have transitioned away to TablePlus and DataGrip. Too bad because it was a very good tool for quick edits.

Use the nightly

The last thing I want to use when dealing with data is a nightly. Yes, I have backups; those are for rainy days, not my own recklessness.
