Re: Harlequin: SQL IDE for Your Terminal
#2Harlequin has been on my "to investigate" list since it popped up on hn a few weeks/months ago. I still need to experiment with it a bit more, but I had been thinking of building a some tragic equivalent to this, and now I don't have to :)

#3I have been looking for a nice SQL TUI and this looks like it. Will give it a try. Thank you.

#4Suggestion: under "works with your database" consider naming the databases rather than only offering a list of icons.
Also seems to be a bit of hubris to claim a SQL IDE "works with your database" when SQL Server and Oracle, two of the database products with the largest market share, are not supported (yet?)

Agreed. I found the current connectors in their docs here: https://harlequin.sh/docs/adapters
I’m pretty pumped to try this seeing BigQuery is supported.

#7Question: do people love TUI, because they love being in a terminal?
Or ... is this a movement against application bloat, which has become all to common these days?
EDIT: why the downvotes?

If you develop SQL you need to write code and view tables. A grid with monospace characters is perfectly suitable for that.
But other than that, no, people don't love being in a terminal. It just happens that all open source portable toolkits like qt and gtk do not work via ssh and are in general total abominations for developers and users. The vt100 standard is 45 years old and turned out to be the lowest common denominator to write GUIs for better or worse.

> SQL Server and Oracle, two of the database products with the largest market share
Agree on the first point, but is 'market share' - a metric comparing commercial sales revenue which by definition excludes open source software, really that relevant when critiquing a tagline for a FOSS tool implicitly targeting FOSS databases at a time when FOSS dominates?
If this wasn't an MIT licensed project without a single hint of a commercial offering I'd get it, but come on.
