I only use DataGrip, but oh boy is that the best $8 a month that my employer pays for. I'd pay an absurd amount out of pocket per month for DG alone. Easily $100 probably.

I've used so many SQL GUIs and DataGrip is better than all of them in every way. From the top notch intellisense to the great GUI with safe and commitable changes, there's just so much that blows everyone else out of the water. I spent two years at one job settling for SequelPro, an old freeware MacOS SQL client. What the hell was wrong with me? For $8 a month, I could have felt much more comfortable and been more effective in my development.

I wish I could use DataGrip. I work in health IT but the database is over 1 TB and literally has over 1 thousand tables. DataGrip basically crashes.

I refunded my purchase.

Why is it loading all the tables at once? Just trying to list them all crashed it, you mean?
