Biggest issues for me: Subscription based payments and (biggest issue) missing option to adjust the keyboard shortuts. So I have to adjust my workflow and muscle memory to the tool instead of the other way around.
For the rest it is a very nice looking client with a good amount of features (for my use case) and hats off to the developers.

Almost all Electron-based software has a guilt of shortcuts. By either not having them at all, or by using the scheme alien to a particular OS. Obsidian is my personal pit peeve - it still has a spotty support of F2 (rename) shortcut on Windows. Previously, it hadn't it at all.

In case the developers are watching, I love beekeeper and use the free version daily. If you sold a one-time license, even if it was just for the current major version, I’d gladly pay $100 for that.

#25It looks a lot like Tableplus [1] Who copied whom? [1] https://tableplus.com/
Since you mentioned it, I was always curious if the team behind TablePlus were/are connected to the team behind Postico [1]. The UIs for both (at least before Postico 2) are almost identical. [1] https://eggerapps.at/postico2/
As someone who uses both of them (One for Scylla, one for PG) on a daily basis...I don't think they look "almost identical" at all.

#26Been using this for a year or so as my daily basic DB client. Really like it for what it is and can definitely recommend it for quick and simple DB operations. I put it in the same category as tableplus - its a nice simple db client when all you need to do is browse some data, edit a row or two, etc. The community edition of beekeeper, however, has less annoyances than tableplus's free version imo. For more advanced…
I’ve literally just started using TablePlus as I get it as part of SetApp so this is a really handy comparison. I was tempted to give this a try but sounds like I’m getting something very similar with TablePlus for money I’m already spending each month.
BeeKeeper looks very nice from what I can see though so might still try it.

It'd been several years, but taking another look now I can spot the differences.
I suppose the tooling for databases (or the expectation from users) means they all end up sharing a similar UI and where and how various features are implemented. Not too unlike word processors or spreadsheet software!

#28I've been using this on Macs as my DB manager on a new project (MariaDB at the moment) and have been pretty happy with it. I use SQL Editor to do the design and to generate DB-creation scripts, and once the DB is up and running I maintain it with Beekeeper while I code in my IDEs.
I love how someone downvoted this two days after the fact.

Did you have anything to add to that?
It wasn't obvious to me what this software was when posted. The original HN title was "Beekeeper Studio 4.0 - Import. backup, restore, and bigquery" which implies it's a backup solution for bigquery. The HN title was edited to include "SQL editor" after my comment. Do you see anywhere in the linked release notes where it explains what Beekeeper Studio is? I discovered it's more than a SQL backup and restore solution…
Ah, much appreciated.
+1 for descriptive titles (which are far from a universal norm here)

#30Does anyone know how this compares to DBeaver?
Less features, but that can be a good thing. Interface is nice, but its electron (but that's not really a bad thing).
