Been using the open source dbeaver for a while now. On the whole very impressed with it, so worth a look as a free alternative.

Does the code completion/autocomplete in dbeaver support "fuzzy typing" like in Sublime Text?

For example, if you have a table called "catalog_product_flat", would the autocomplete suggest that table when you typed "catprfl"?

Agreed. The only thing it probably doesn't satisfy here is lightweight (being built on Eclipse). But actually one of the things that keeps me with it is that being built on Eclipse I can use a whole bunch of Eclipse plugins that have have from that environment and they work great.

For example, if you have a table called "catalog_product_flat", would this program's autocomplete suggest that table when you typed "catprfl"? That's one feature I find is missing from every single DBA program out there except for DataGrip, which I don't like because it's overkill.

Yeah, it tries to do that but is not always very good at it. For example with aliases in join and subqueries it struggles sometimes and it doesn't show up.

Just tried that and it did autocomplete, for example 'dal' to 'django_admin_log'. It did not auto-suggest it while typing, but when I pressed control-space it expanded it.

This program won't install on Windows 7 because it requires .NET Framework version 4.8, which won't install on Windows 7, because Micro$oft doesn't support it any longer. Given this, you'd think TablePlus would explicitly mention this before putting Windows 7 users through this unnecessary waste of time.

Don't know if the person who posted this has an affiliation, I do not, but I'm a huge fan of TablePlus so feel it's still worth it for me to comment about this. It offers so many features that seem so natural. Quick editability which in some cases saves a ton of time. Tabs for different tables, plain text editing for queries with highlighting for ease of reading. There are other database interactors, that do the same…

I've been using TablePlus for a long time now as well. I don't have any affiliation but started with their mac app. It was easily the best DB GUI out there. I like that you can use the same GUI for PostgreSQL, MYSQL, Redis, MongoDB, and SQLite (there are even more than this, but these are the ones I use). It is awesome to have one very powerful and well-maintained program for all my database needs. I can get proficie…

What does it give me that DBeaver doesn't? I use DBeaver daily for work but would consider paying for a better tool if I can see what is better about it.

For those of you who miss SequelPro before it was abandoned, this is a worthy successor. I bought licenses for my whole team.

Indeed. I just went searching for a SequelPro replacement yesterday and found Table Plus. Tried it for an hour and bought a license.

Should probably mention it doesn't work on Windows 95 either.

Coincidentally, I discovered TablePlus in Setapp today while searching for a macOS MySQL client. Has been a smooth experience in the first few hours, and a better looking interface that other clients that I have tried in the past.

As another comment mentions, support for Linux is a big plus - we need better GUIs in there.

gave it a trial install, and one thing I noticed right away is that memory usage shoots up and responsiveness slows to a crawl when working with medium-ish tables (hundreds of thousands of rows) if you happen to run a select and forget to limit your query, it slows to a crawl

datagrip paginates results in batches of 500 by default, which helps with not accidentally making the interface implode on itself
