Sequel Pro stuck on Loading Database “db_name"

This might help you, I'd run these scripts at your own risk though, should be fine but could have unexpected results

@realrandyallen ..those where th first thing i tried ,,,,didnt work for me ...thanks though

@MAC03733 - Is it all DBs or just one?

@REALRANDYALLEN - all DBs

I eventually gave up on sequel pro because of issues like these. I use Table Plus now and I'd never go back. https://tableplus.io/ I have it with my SetApp subscription but you can buy it standalone too.

@MAC03733 - What version of MySQL? Seems a lot of people have fixed it by rolling back to 5.7, not a great solution but it might work...others are using one of the newer builds of sequel pro

@PMX - is it free ..

@REALRANDYALLEN - mysql v8.0 ... let me try reseach if downgrading would come back to bit me in th ***

for now iv

uninstalled sequel pro

and installed

sequel-pro-nightly ---> brew cask install homebrew/cask-versions/sequel-pro-nightly

seems to be working so far ...
