What HN said
What people liked
Useful tool with workflow focus and good features like ER design and query planner
From 2 comments
I love the music for the demo video. Especially the second part. Oracle never sounded better. Joke aside. Looks like a pretty useful tool. Seems to be focused on workflows.
m19n on HNER design, Query builder, Query Debugger, Query planner, DB Report generation are some best features to me comparing to pgAdmin.

Subscription pricing seen as too high and free version too limited
From 3 comments
One-time fee okay. 40$ a month? Hell no.
nexact on HN$15-25 a month? (or $40 a month for all?) (The free version doesn't support basic things like import and export, so it's really not viable for professionals) DataGrip is…

Broken pages and Korean-only video demos
From 3 comments
On the Frontpage, "Start your Subscription" inside the Description for the Free Version there is the Link [0] which leads to a broken "403 forbidden" page. [0]…
Padrio on HNIs the video in Korean for everyone or just me?

Postgres execution plan exploration examples
From 1 comment
Any screenshots of postgres execution plan exploration? This is 99% of what I'd consider a new tool for. (Other tool suggestions also welcome.)

Fix schema-ambiguous autocomplete for same table names

Tried this for a few minutes at work (very heavy SQL Server shop). It doesn't play well with databases that have different schemas but the same table name. schema1.users…

What UI toolkit does the cross-platform version use?
From 1 comment
Can you give some info about the cross platform version - specifically the UI toolkit it uses? i.e. it is Java, QT, Electron, platform-specific UI with a C/C++ core, etc?

DBeaver
From 2 comments
There's DBeaver Community
arboghast on HNI guess dbeaver is much better, more powerfull and open source IDE for databases.

DataGrip
From 2 comments
DataGrip is $20 a month for more features. However, after you've paid for 12 months you get perpetual access, so you can essentially pay for 12 months (or yearly at $199) and it…
bdcravens on HNIf you have IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, try the Database plugin. It essentially turns IntelliJ into DataGrip (their dedicated database IDE).

If on Mac, try Tableplus. Free version is already great. I use it for Postgres and Redis. Recommended

pgAdmin
From 1 comment
I also switched, pgAdmin4 is terrible and using pgAdmin3 with new PostgreSQL versions wasn't officially supported (manual driver upgrade mostly worked).
