A lot of them just are on the local network. Like Jetbrains software will throw a license error if both are on the same internal network, but will be fine if they are on separate networks.
I work with SQL Server. I really like general multi-db GUI tools like this, but also wonder if one is giving up a lot of power. SQL Server's free native tool is SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio), which is one of the most powerful SQL clients I've ever used. (despite my carryover reservations with MS products from the 1980s-90s, SQL Server is indisputably an innovative and solid piece of technology -- MS did somethi…
How do you deal with the complete lack of searching for tables/SPs/functions in SSMS? There are a number of 3rd party extensions but they all seem slow and still just jump you to the entity in the explorer. The speed of searching for anything in DataGrip is just so beautiful and amazing for productivity. A big downside is we have run into situations where a SP is cached and is an old version and DataGrip doesn’t noti…
That is a weakness of SSMS, and I've no good answers.
For stuff like SQL formatting though, the free ApexSQL Refactor [1] has been a godsend for me. I write a lot of complex analytic queries and having the ability to tidy up statements as I'm writing the query is amazing.
These products all do more or less the same thing. If Valentina Studio free version supports your DBs of choice, I've found it to suit my needs perfectly well - Postgres user here. Oh, did I mention it's free? These products should have a mandatory feature comparison chart to their competition - it'd speed up the inevitable decline of mediocre competition that relies on gaming google search results for its survival.…
This sort of put me off. Personally I am fine with a single user perpetual license for my use case. But as they are claiming it being a young project and likely to have more bugs than your average mature product. Why do you expect me to renew my license to get your updates ? doesn't seem fair.
> TablePlus is a young project, we fix bugs and add new features every day, then put them together in a new update released at the end of week/month.
That week/month could fall a year after the date of my initial purchase :(
Free alternative i have been using for some years now: https://dbeaver.io/ The community edition is updated more often than i would like and sometimes features break but bugs get fixed quickly and they add usefull stuff all the time. Dont know what i would do if i was stuck with pgAdmin...
1990s Java swing clunky UI... would rather use CLI IMHO.
> After 1 year, you can continue using TablePlus without any limitations but you can't upgrade to the latest version. If you want to upgrade, you must renew the license, the renewal fee is much cheaper than buying a new one. This sort of put me off.
