Just tried the same, worked fine for me.

Why would they support a dead OS? Windows 7 is months past end-of-life, receiving no security patches and hence unsafe to use. And by the way they actually explicit mention it on the homepage - it says .NET 4.8 right under the download button.
> And by the way they actually explicit mention it on the homepage - it says .NET 4.8 right under the download button. True, that. Except who keeps track of which version of .NET works with what? I for one don't. Years ago, I used to use TablePlus on my Win 7 box but eventually canned it for better (IMO) alternatives. So when TablePlus recently reappeared on HN, I decided to give it another tryout. Not one to keep tr…
Alternatively, you could just use a modern OS and no longer have to worry about whether or not programs are unsupported.

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…
That sounds impressive, if not unbelievable, they have 2 employees listed on their LinkedIn, and only 3 listed on their website. Maybe they are using offshore developers for a lot of the heavy lifting, but I honestly don’t see how they could have native apps for 3 platforms that have this much functionality with that many employees. Anyone else have insight?
In the end you only need to implement UI layer when the business logic is separated out. Not that the business logic on the different platforms can't be tricky but I think most time is spend on the native UI implementation. That's how I would go about it.
I am glad it's not Elektron. I am also using TablePlus and enjoying it a lot!

DBeaver is my go to free option as well, but I am a big Table Plus fan as well. The thing I think it gives you is a smooth, frictionless workflow. The UI is simple & uncluttered. Everything you need for the most common tasks is easy to find.
Totally agree. When I'm on Mac, I go with Sequel Pro, but on Linux DBeaver is unfortunately the best. It's not bad, its just way too cluttered. I am liking the direction Table Plus Linux is going.
DBeaver UI is definitely too busy, but I found that when I figured out where everything is, it's pretty nice. I bailed on Sequel Pro for Table Plus recently on my Mac because I needed to work on a version 8.x DB.
I bet the Linux TablePlus will be up to speed in features by the end of the year.

#196After testing this for 30 minutes it made me actually Donate money to the HeidiSQL project, as it fits my workflow MUCH better. It has a couple of annoying bugs but it's feature set develops in general much more along my actual needs. The Redis implementation of TablePlus is rather worthless to me compared to what Redis Desktop Manager does as it doesn't sensibly group keys, it doesn't give me much information about…
Have you gotten HeidiSQL to work well with PostgresQL? I really like it back when I used MySQL, but it's absolutely rife with bugs in its PostgresQL adapter with constant crashes and invalid queries being generated. It's so bad that it makes me wonder if I just have something misconfigured instead of it being an application bug.
I only use the PostgreSQL adapter only for a very simple database, so I can't comment on it.

TablePlus for 2 Macs with 12 months of updates: $99 SetApp subscription for 2 Macs (includes TablePlus): $108/year
Interesting, didn't know about SetApp before, thanks. I wonder how they manage around DRM rights with the individual app publisher?
They make agreements with the publishers and SetApp delivers the app updates (usually the same day as the regular app updates are released). SetApp lets you have a certain number of “active” machines. My account (which I got whenever it launched) let’s me have 5 machines but the standard plan might be 2, I’m unsure. Any annual upgrade terms don’t apply, your access is predicated on having a SetApp subscription. So for an app like Ulysses, I don’t have to pay the annual IAP or subscription (the Ulysses subscription extends to iOS too fwiw although other apps like Screens still have their own separate iOS apps, which makes sense).
I actually discovered TablesPlus thorough SetApp and liked it enough to buy the Windows version for the times I use Windows.
There are a number of apps in SetApp I’ve already paid for, but talking to a friend who is a SetApp author, if I install the SetApp version, that actually helps him get paid more so when I do have overlap, I install the SetApp version.
(My friend makes decent money off of SetApp which made me feel a lot better about the whole thing and feel comfortable it wasn’t predatory towards indie app makers).

#198Postico is a nice Mac alternative but is focused on Postgres DBs like Redshift.
Been using it since its first stable release, absolutely reliable and easy to work with. Version 2, which should be released soon, is even nicer. https://eggerapps.at/postico/
Version 2 is lovely, I have been using it in beta and it seems quite stable, looking forward to the final release.
