When I got the update I looked through the settings and there appears to be no way to disable it. I do not want AI anywhere near my database. I only use it for testing/staging at least so I should hopefully not have to worry about it wrecking production.
It's there on the UI, but it doesn't do anything if it's not enabled.
Might as well choose our AI subscription for our tools. I always hated the sparkle icons in Mongodb Compass (db browsing tool), Cloudwatch (logs) etc which is wired to a useless model. So I always chose to write Python scripts to query Postgres and other DBs and render pretty tables to CLI.

The only interface that works for me efficiently with LLMs is the chatbot interface. I rather copy and paste snippets into the chat box than have IDEs and other tools guess what I might want to ask AI.

The first thing I do with these integration is look how I can remove them.

If I can use this with a local LLM it could be useful.
Yeah, no thanks. I switched to dbeaver already anyway, because pgadmin was annoying about to which postgres versions it could connect. Too much of a hassle to setup a new version from source back when I tried. With dbeaver I just run ./dbeaver from the extracted .tag.gz. dbeaver is also not a web interface, but a real desktop application (Java, though).
I run pgAdmin with docker and there's almost nothing to it.

When a new version comes out, I just update the image version on the stack yml.

The fact that you need Docker to make it easy is already a mayor failure. What happened to single binary programs that you can just run? I don't want a whole virtualized OS installation just to get a desktop application to work.
No thank you. One of the worst ads for python that exists. The only one worse than pgAdmin is Windows 11.
Switched from DBeaver to DataGrip and I couldn't be happier.
While everyone else is posting top level comments about which tools they're using rather than PgAdmin; I've been a huge fan of Beekeeper Studio since I tried out a range of postgresql db apps such as DBeaver, Postico, etc a few years ago.

I was on the prowl for a new DB Management tool, after pgAdmin 4 shifted to their web based client crap.

I never came across this. Found DBeaver and using it since then.

Now I don’t need to copy, paste, take screenshots or use Claude? This will save me minutes per year.
I've used similar with SQL Server Management Studio (GH copilot) and it's pretty useful for database work and gnarly queries.

This is great, but I'd prefer to see a refit of their UI first, it's currently a bit slow and looks prehistoric.
