So what's the best x-platform SQL client these days?
Re:HeidiSQL – GUI client for MariaDB, MySQL, Microsoft SQL S... by manigandham on Thursday January 17, 2019 @01:28PM (#18933158)
DBeaver is solid and supports the most DBs with lots of handy features: https://dbeaver.io/

Jetbrains Datagrip is popular too, more intelligent but less DBs than DBeaver: https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/

If you want a web-based tool, especially for Postgres, then OmniDB is a good choice: https://www.omnidb.org/en/

I'll second DBeaver.

Interestingly, OmniDB is built with Django.

DBeaver has support for many databases through JDBC.

I recently discovered DBeaver and can highly recommend it. It is a bit more complicated to use than some alternatives, but really powerful. Also supports a large number of databases. https://dbeaver.io/

For Mac and Windows I really like TablePlus: https://tableplus.io/

First saw it here.

I've been using TablePlus as well. I like that it has true native UI and the redis support is handy.
Re:HeidiSQL – GUI client for MariaDB, MySQL, Microsoft SQL S... by bengotow on Thursday January 17, 2019 @05:07PM (#18935131)
Yup - TablePlus is beautiful. I tried it for a few days and paid for it, really works wonderfully on macOS.

I use three tools interchangeably. DBeaver as mentioned by other comments. Squirrel SQL[0] has been around for a very long time. I have been using it for well over 10 years. Probably 15. Don't be fooled by the dated screenshots. First thing I always do it change the look and feel to Windows native then looks like any other Windows application. SQL Workbench/J[1]. Has tonnes of features, is well documented. I particularly like the headless mode which allows me to automate running of SQL statements using a batch file.

I would argue Datagrip has yet to fail me while having a ton of support for many databases. Including support for MySQL 4.0.16. I had to use that DB for my previous job about a year ago. With datagrip I just needed to download an old jar file and I had a connection automatically.

A simple postgres client I'm working on in my free time: https://sanchosql.com/ Linux only now but it's open source so it should be possible to compile for win/mac

I use Valentina:

DBeaver is popular if sluggish at times
Re:HeidiSQL – GUI client for MariaDB, MySQL, Microsoft SQL S... by taylorwc on Thursday January 17, 2019 @02:39PM (#18933840)
I enjoy Sqlectron. Good cross-platform support, and a terminal option if you'd prefer.

I'm a big fan of Aqua Data Studio. I'd never heard of it until my current position, but it's very nice.
Re:HeidiSQL – GUI client for MariaDB, MySQL, Microsoft SQL S... by adl on Thursday January 17, 2019 @01:13PM (#18933031)
DataGrip (not OpenSource) is pretty good.
Re:HeidiSQL – GUI client for MariaDB, MySQL, Microsoft SQL S... by Bishonen88 on Thursday January 17, 2019 @04:41PM (#18934916)
Can only say 10000 good things about DataGrip
Re:HeidiSQL – GUI client for MariaDB, MySQL, Microsoft SQL S... by dt_rsp on Thursday January 17, 2019 @01:12PM (#18933015)
I like DBeaver. YMMV.
