Thanks for Posting. I love to see Pascal Cross Platform Apps are possible.
How does this compare with DbGate (https://github.com/dbgate/dbgate)?

Re: HeidiSQL Available Also for Linux
#12I'm curious if anyone here has any experience with DbBeaver and HeidiSQL and can make a comparison. I've been using DbBeaver for a while, but the interface is... strange. Will probably try Heidi tomorrow.
When I switched to Linux full time, I had to ditch Heidi as they didn’t have a Linux version. I actually prefer dbeaver now, Heidi had some odd defaults (default collation especially) which need attention but you don’t realise it until too late. It also was a bit crashy here and there. DBeaver has the worst name in history but it can do everything Heidi does and doesn’t fall over every 20 minutes. The buttons are all…
I feel like dbeaver works with all of them. It never feels like a pleasure to use, unlike Heidi, which actively feels like it makes working with databases nicer.

#13HeidiSQL, CudaText, Double Commander -- these native Pascal Apps still give the best user experience for me after decades.
There is also Peazip : https://github.com/peazip/PeaZip

Yeah, DbBeaver is a slow behemoth while HeidiSQL is like 2 MB snappy lean and mean exe.
Works great in Wine before this native version came about.

I've found Dbeaver struggles with large tables or databases with a lot of tables, often going out of memory unless I click the GC button every 10 seconds.
Meanwhile Heidi is fine.

#16Heidi is one of the apps that I like so much it locked me to using windows

Hey man. You take that back.

#18If you have the license for it, it is hard to beat Datagrip from Jetbrains. Support for just about any database and also integrated support for AI/Copilot making it much easier to write exploratory queries.

For simpler use-cases I've used both https://dataflare.app/ and https://tableplus.com/ with success. They are much quicker and lighter to start-up, browse some tables and run some queries.
Free versions are generous enough for daily use as well. For example for TablePlus "The free trial is limited to 2 opened tabs, 2 opened windows, 2 advanced filters (filters are not available on the free TablePlus Windows) at a time."

With DBeaver I was able to use tnsnames.ora to use a few tricks to connect to an oracle db
It required certain host/user/cid combination to pass the whitelist.
