I've been using in on macOS and it just works.
There are so many free tools for databases and I'm wondering : How do the devs survive with free versions and/or open source?

#52Woah, that ER diagram functionality reminds me of a tool that I tried a long time ago but which I had since forgotten. Back then the tool in question had too many issues and shortcomings, but they may have developed it sufficiently now.
Being told about Dbeaver and reminded of pgModeler right now is great because I am currently defining the tables for a project I am working on for a client, and as the number of tables grow jumping back and forth between the files that define each of them adds a still small but noticeable overhead. With a ER diagram tool I might be able to speed up a little part of the definition work.
Edit: Hmm, pgModeler might still not be such a great tool https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17693582

#56I used Dbeaver for years. Once with MS-SQL, which was quite unstable... But no problem with MariaDB, SQLite and PostgreSQL.
Plus, the built-in support of SSH tunnels is a big plus for my use cases!

These guys actually fix their bugs. It works on every database known to humans, and also does nearly everything DBeaver appears to do.

This, it's incredible. Amongs many other things, it supports a lot of the navigation/refactoring features of all the other IntelliJ products.
