Congrats to the team on launching this! I was actually the first to demo it, as part of our sponsored session at Microsoft last week. Here's the talk where I used it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6Vm2hakkV4 I also did a theater session at our MSFT booth, but the recording isn't up yet. You can follow the steps in this repo to check out all the features that I demo'd, however: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/post…

I've found Datagrip to be far and away the most impressive universal database tool. I feel like I've tried them all, and they all have a quality of having been developed by database people, rather than IDE designers. The depth of capability, extensibility, pace of improvement--I'm a very happy customer. I don't want to poop on open source, but pgadmin and dbeaver and not even close to playing in the same league. I wo…

Are there any features in datagrip in particular that you like that aren't in dbeaver?

I used DBeaver (community edition) before Datagrip and I would have to give the nod to datagrip overall. I wouldn't have even tried it if I did not have the etbrains all product pack. DBeaver is great, don't get me wrong, but Datagrip just seems a lot more polished overall and the settings and the UI just seem more intuitive to me.

DataGrip would be perfect if it had a community edition. As someone who connects to a database only two or three times a week, I’m not willing to pay for it.

Yeah I already have the all-products pack for Goland, Clion, and Resharper, I wouldn't have purchased DataGrip separately

Yeah same. As great as Datagrip is, I would have stuck with DBeaver if I didn't have the All Products Pack.

I recently called this (and other Microsoft behavior) out as being "fake" open source. The comment was highly controversial with quite a battle of up and down votes - so clearly not everyone agrees. In my opinion, Microsoft wants the good vibes and PR that comes with open source, but they don't actually want to be open source. Its why many people still don't trust them in this arena.

Regarding fake open source, WSL2 comes to mind. It is entirely useless that it's open source except in one way, people can help Microsoft to replace Linux with Windows - for free.

At least they are making windows so bad that the incentive to go the other way around with Linux and wine looks better by the day. I personally made the transition last year. I have been playing with Linux since late 90s with dual boot, vms, wsl etc. But Linux never stuck as my main driver. I still don’t love it, but they managed to make me hate the windows experience so much that it feels natural to switch. I also have Mac, which I am using less and less for some other unidentified reason. Probably, that experience has degraded too but in more subtle ways.

I’m confused. Isn’t including the canonical state of the database schema in version control along with all the migrations that brought it to that point a completely standard part of every web framework?

That "works" for about as long as you have <10 employees and <3 customers or so. After that the railsapp doesn't get to be the sole owner of the db.

It worked fine for GitLab when it had 2000+ employees and god knows how many customers. The same applies to many other large Rails shops.

Nice. The few db managers I’ve tried in VS Code are so awkward, creating files for queries and opening multiple panes that barely fit in the crowded IDE space It makes me wish for something like phpmyadmin or adminer

Isn't that exactly what pgadmin is?

Super cool for them to finally add in VSCode. My team is trying to build even more here by building a dedicated SQL editor with a context aware AI copilot, and with sharing and collaboration so we don’t need to send queries in slack anymore :) Check it out and get on the waitlist getgalaxy.io/explore/product-tour happy to chat live with anyone if interested, support@getgalaxy.io

The GIF on your landing page is very jarring, with the constant zooming in and out. Way too fast to read what you're zooming into.
