HeidiSQL – GUI client for MariaDB, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL • Hacker News Board

I recently discovered DBeaver and can highly recommend it. It is a bit more complicated to use than some alternatives, but really powerful. Also supports a large number of databases. https://dbeaver.io/

I like DBeaver. YMMV.

I would argue Datagrip has yet to fail me while having a ton of support for many databases. Including support for MySQL 4.0.16. I had to use that DB for my previous job about a year ago. With datagrip I just needed to download an old jar file and I had a connection automatically.

It's a Windows app. Github repo is here: https://github.com/HeidiSQL/HeidiSQL/ The repo doesn't show releases, but the heidisql.com site has nightly builds done directly from the master branch.

FWIW, it does work on Wine

DataGrip (not OpenSource) is pretty good.

For Mac and Windows I really like TablePlus: https://tableplus.io/

First saw it here.
