God bless this project. I've been using Sequel Pro on a daily basis and am amazed at how many features and polish it contains. I am definitely donating to them.

Edit: To reiterate, this is just a wonderful project. They hadn't updated since 2011 and yet I've been using Sequel Pro daily, on Mountain Lion, with nary a hitch. I'm not a MySQL power user by any means so having this reliable, free tool to make handling gigabyte datasets a breeze is just a real boon to daily productivity and anti-frustration.

There are many great free GUI apps out there, of course (every major web browser, major web app, OpenRefine, etc)., but MySQL on a Mac seems like such a niche market that I assume no one would put real resources or talent to creating a slick GUI for it. Discovering Sequel Pro a few years back has been one of my favorite open source experiences in awhile.

I have always liked Sequel Pro. Then I started looking for an OSX Mongo client, and having seen what's on offer, I love Sequel Pro all the more.

I wish I was still using MySQL in order to use Sequel Pro. It would be perfect with Sqlite and Postgresql support.

Sequel Pro: loved and donated.

All we need is PostgreSQL support! I'd easily pay $20, $30, heck more than that for the features and polish of Sequel Pro for Postgres.

They are working on it! :)

Add in SQLite and I'm right there with you. Base.app is pretty good, but another option would be great.

Any suggestions for a PostgreSQL GUI client on a mac?

I was looking for one not too long ago and came upon this:

http://inductionapp.com

...which I couldn't use because I'm on 10.6. the website is colorful though so there's that.

I ended up using this...

http://www.teampostgresql.com

which is browser based but does the job

Induction does not work. At all. The UI flickers and moves around. Views snap out of existence and then back based on where you click. And it crashes constantly. I don't think I was able to view a single row from a single table.

It also appears to be abandonware.

PgAdmin III is currently the best (free) GUI for postgres. It's not without its own issues (mostly with missing keybindings and focus issues) and it's ugly but it is at least functional.

There's no good ones. Navicat is probably the best but it's a very far cry from Sequel Pro, and very poor value IMO.

Basically the best hope is for the Sequel Pro guys to support PostgreSQL, which they have stated they intend to do.

I use Navicat Premium (which is multiple databases pg, mysql, sqlite). It's not as pretty as Sequel Pro, but it does the job well.

Aqua Data Studio is what i've largely used in the past. It's expensive; however, I had to work on a lot of different databases and data warehouses and it was the best fit for most.

pgAdmin? I don't know, besides a very silly bug in the object's privileges tab, it works perfectly fine for me. Well, that and the fact that somehow they use a mixture of Windows/Mac keyboard shortcuts in the SQL editor.

It's not pretty, but nothing comes anywhere close to the functionality of PgAdmin. I think it supports nearly every feature of the database, which is impressive.

I haven't used it much, but it looks good and is open source: http://inductionapp.com/

I have tried to us it, it does look good, but does not work. The latest build did not run for me at all on Mountain Lion

DbVisualizer (www.dbvis.com) is multi platform and has excellent support. It is Java based and commercial which may be a problem for some.

This is hands down the nicest and most polished RDBMS client I have used on any platform. Cheers to Rowan and his team.

Unfortunately, SequelPro's support for more advanced (if once can call it like that) features like views, stored procedures, triggers is not so great.

If only I had a working knowledge of Obj-C, I'd try and lend a had to those guys :/

This is fabulous to see, very excited to download and give it a go. They're very responsive to questions, comments, bug reports, and are an all around great group of guys.

I looked at the features, and I'm really trying hard to understand what truly compelling and innovative features it offers...

Why use this instead of MySQL Workbench? Genuinely curious.

Sequel Pro is essential to my work. Now if they can also support a few more database companies I would be all set and I would pay a reasonable price. $20-$30.

Whenever a project comes along thats as useful and open as this I feel compelled to donate. These guys do such a good job. Keep it up!
