The submitter doesn't seem to be in any way connected to the project, so this seems to just organically be interesting and still new for enough people––I hadn't seen the earlier posts, for example, and I check HN quite obsessively.
Filed minor bug report about tiny/disappearing scroll bars last time this showed up here. Authors took it seriously and pushed a change very quickly. Thanks!
Looks nice. Does it support update and insert operations on views (using INSTEAD OF triggers)? That's a feature that led me to DBeaver, which I'm liking a lot.
I like the idea, but the execution seems rather bad. If I try to connect to my Postgres server, it can't find a single table in any database, even though I know there are tables and I know that other clients can fetch them. It also seems to say "undefined rows affected" on all SELECTs.
I'm not sure if I like the idea. What does it offer that DBeaver doesn't? DBeaver's auto-complete is a bit eager, and it looks like the Java application that it is, but it works, and the features Beekeeper touts are provided by DBeaver with the same ease. But DBeaver does seem to offer a lot more.
DBeaver looks and feels like something that was cobbled together over the past 15 years. I just cannot make myself use it without constantly feeling icky.
TablePlus is a paid, proprietary software. And not only that, it's licensed per device, not per user, one year at a time. So if you work on two computers, that's $120 per year.
I looked at this the other day, and put in a feature request.
I have a personal copy of SQLYog ultimate, which for the most part I love. Of course I want something (open source) has a similar UX with quickly accessing rows, and being able to switch between query results and table row view. And being able to do import and exports with options. This would be to help people at work. The OSS and free packages out there are not very friendly IMHO.
Here's the thing that bugs me about the JavaScript ecosystem. This is a database manager, so it's presumably going to be connecting to pretty sensitive systems, with pretty sensitive credentials. Do you think the developers have audited all of these dependencies? Do you think they can have possibly audited all of these dependencies?
I’m not sure if that’s really relevant. I’m building those sensitive systems with Javascript, and just trust Snyk to notify me if anything untowards happens.
It is literally impossible to audit all these libraries. But that’s the case for almost all languages with a package manager.
