What tools are these? Curious as a Postgres user

MySQL Workbench is actually pretty damn good.

As a PostgreSQL user. Pgadmin 4 is the worst.

PgAdmin3 was much better, but then they decided to turn it into a web application and we got PgAdmin4 Very annoying.

I used to use PgAdmin 3, but after... I donno how many years now, the PgAdmin4 is still a buggy mess.

It's really sad because all the contributors to Postgres have made an AMAZING database that's such a joy to work with. And then there's PgAdmin4 where its almost like they just don't care...

I don't feel I'm smart enough to contribute anything to PgAdmin4 to try make it better. So I stick to DataGrip and DBeaver.

I've probably tried a dozen or so.

For MySQL, I haven't found anything that beats SequelPro. For Postgres, I haven't found anything that comes close to parity, but my favorite is Postico.

I know people that swear by IntelliJ for their db stuff, it just never hit home for me personally though.

TablePlus is fantastic and supports all the most popular DB’s, including Postgres & MySQL. https://tableplus.com/

It’s the only DB client that doesn’t look like it was built in the 90’s. Slick UX & UI. Nice balance between developer tool & admin tool

For PG - DBeaver do a damn good job for me.

DBeaver is certainly underhyped. Moved over to using it from MySQL Workbench and so far it's been a big improvement.

I can't compare against SequelPro as I don't have a Mac, but DBeaver's worth a try for anyone looking for a cross platform DB editor

I spent a little time in it and I really like DBeaver. Free tier works great.
