Windows Alternative to Sequel Pro

DB Visualizer. Works great on every platform. Worth the cost. dbvis.com. Works with all major databases.

I believe that the best alternative is MySQL Workbench. HeidiSQL is not bad either. Navicat is another one.

What feature(s) do you need from SequelPro?

@5150studios you'd be better off with linux.

There is no, and almost certainly will never be any, windows -- or otherwise -- port of sequel pro, it's a [cocoa] app.

I would happily chip in on a Kickstarter campaign for a direct copy of it for windows. It's literally the only thing holding me back now, maybe iterm2 but that's less of a deal and windows ripped off Expose from Mac so even thats there.

Sequel Pro if you haven't used it is just so quick and intuitive, all these windows suggestions are clunky, ugly and bloated. I'd even settle for a Chrome app (Postman Style) that ripped off its main interface. Any takers?

and mac 'ripped off' expose from linux :) lol

Here's a sql client built with electron: https://sqlectron.github.io/

@5150studios I will mention that on local and to assist in querybuilding I have had a local mysql via odbc connected to ms access. Aids in queries via the visual querybuilder, + I'd dump monthy from live database to local to print out reports. I am yet to see a report designer come close to the one in access. Used to be access 97 Now I have access 2007, it is pretty neat. Just another tool.

@5150studios you could always set up phpMyAdmin too.

Check out the comparison video for new mac book pro on YouTube by Jonathan Morrison .

It's not always about hardware specs. You have to consider overall performance you get with OS and hardware.

Full disclosure @bytefury , I've already ordered 3 of the touch bar 13" with 16GB ram upgrade for my devs & I. I did purchase an XPS 15 which I used for about a week before giving it to another developer (Sequel Pro is always open for me). My daily driver is the rev A. 12" macbook attached to a 34" 34UC98 monitor - so I know the limits of performance.

I just look at that Razer Blade Stealth hooked up to a Razer Core or even the Dell XPS 13 and it's tempting to switch. I'm pretty OS agnostic, I live in Ubuntu command line daily, test sites in Windows 7 to 10 and use OS X (macos) as the foundation.

Great discussion and suggestions so far though guys, keep them coming - I'm sure this will help out many people on the fence like myself.

@willvincent that looks like a solid alternative, I will give it a crack today.

@willvincent How is the stability of SQL Electron ? I tried Atom but the stability just let me down over time and went back to Sublime for general edit work. I prefer x-platform tools like dbvis and Jetbrains tools cause I work across all major platforms and databases and live in those tools. But the need to profile/monitor Nodejs infrastructure is growing RAPIDLY. I have been liking RoboMongo a lot lately. These crazy Javascript pricing strategies remind me of Java's early enterprise days.

@jimmck Haven't tried it.. just aware of it's existence. But electron itself is plenty stable, I have slack open all day every day, that's built on electron. :)

@5150studios Off topic, but how do you like the LG 34" 34UC98 monitor? I'm looking at getting that to go with my new laptop and curious to see how it is. Thanks.

I'm using Navicat for years, verry happy with it :)

JetBrain's DataGrip isn't bad, it's actually decent.

@gcwilliams yeah it's solid, I had the older model with the square base and is less curved, it was awesome until half the panel died. LG took it back and upgrades me to this one. I run it via HDMI from my 12" macbook, it's great for a wider Sublime and Firefox, something about iterm2 in its Top placement fully wide is amazing too.

I'd love to go to the new 38" model but in Australia it's around $2K, this one retails for $1.4k.

All in all, productivity went up significantly from a 4K 28" and the 2x 24" I had to a MacBook Pro.

• for DB Visualizer

Even in linux I just use wine to run heidisql. It's not as pretty but I cant think of anything I'm really missing in heidisql that I had on sequelpro

I use Toad. I would say it's OK.

Please don't use MS Access.

@jimmck @willvincent I tried SQL Electron last week and it crashed three times in ~10 minutes before I erased it :-/

DBeaver and Valentina are both cross-platform and pretty thorough. I very rarely use gui db stuff (mostly for exporting specific data that I'm too lazy to do by hand) so I'm maybe missing 'must have' features though.

@phpMick just in general, good name!

MySQL Workbench

I know it's getting to be a little old, but I think "JetBrain's DataGrip" is best bet since it's Jetbrains based, and so it will be multi-platform for everything.
