Does it still lock up the entire UI if a query takes longer than five seconds to return results? Does it still pop up exception dialogs every ten minutes when it’s been open for longer than a few hours?
If 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.
last year i looked at it again, in a project where mongodb is used, it did not perform so well, sure the features where there, but still mongodb is document orientated so i had to come up with workarounds and so ... yeah back to cli unfortunately
but for any relational database, I'd rather use datagrip!
I'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.
Heidi was the default option on our work machines a few years ago and it’s one of the buggiest pieces of software I’ve ever used.

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 tim…

I prefer Heidi where the DB setup allows it, and use DBeaver as a backup.

It's great news that this is now available for Linux, but the better news for me is that I can now build it on Lazarus / FreePascal. Even if it doesn't support all the features (eg MSSQL), at least I can now contribute fixes for some UI issues that have been bothering me.
I can successfully build the FreePascal version on Windows and it runs... fine. Feels a little less snappy than the Delphi version and there are some UI padding issues. But it's a massive step in the right direction.
If you can, please support this project, either financially or through code. contributions. IHMO what is dearly needed is for the different SQL dialects to be abstracted out properly. It's currently done in a bit of a crude way (no disrespect to the author) and it will require a big refactoring to get it right, but will open doors to more dialects.
