DataGrip

JetBrains

Meet DataGrip, our new database IDE that is tailored to suit the specific needs of professional SQL developers. Allows you to execute queries in different modes and provides a local history that keeps track of all your activity and protects you from losing your work. Lets you jump to any table, view, or procedure by its name via the corresponding action, or directly from its usages in the SQL code. Gives you an extended insight into how your queries work and into the database engine behavior, so you can make your queries more efficient. DataGrip provides context-sensitive code completion, helping you to write SQL code faster. Completion is aware of the tables structure, foreign keys, and even database objects created in code you're editing. DataGrip detects probable bugs in your code and suggests the best options to fix them on the fly. It will immediately let you know about unresolved objects, using keywords as identifiers and always offers a way to fix the problems.

pgAdmin

pgAdmin is a free software project released under the PostgreSQL/Artistic licence. The software is available in source and binary format from the PostgreSQL mirror network. Because compiling from source requires technical knowledge, we recommend installing binary packages whenever possible. pgAdmin is the most popular and feature rich Open Source administration and development platform for PostgreSQL, the most advanced Open Source database in the world. pgAdmin is a management tool for PostgreSQL and derivative relational databases such as EnterpriseDB's EDB Advanced Server. It may be run either as a web or desktop application. As pgAdmin is a web application, it can only interact with the local filesystem in ways that are allowed by modern web browsers. This limits what is possible for security; essentially files can only be "downloaded" or "uploaded" (through a form).

PSequel

PostgreSQL GUI tool for macOS. PSequel provides a clean and simple interface for you to perform common PostgreSQL tasks quickly. pgAdmin is great for its feature-richness. However, its UI is clumsy and complicated. There is a list of PostgreSQL GUI Tools. However, they are either web-based, Java-based or don't support the features some want. In the good old MySQL world, the best client is Sequel Pro, but its support for PostgreSQL doesn't seem to be happening. So, we decided to make one. PSequel is written from scratch in Swift 2, although PSequel's UI is highly inspired by Sequel Pro. PSequel is being developed in our spare time. By supporting macOS 10.10+ only, the codebase can be kept simpler and save time by not testing it in older versions of macOS. And, less code, less bugs. PSequel is still in its early stage.

SQL Workbench

Powerful export command to write text files (aka "CSV"), XML, HTML or SQL (including BLOB data). All user tables can be exported into a directory with a single command. Export files can be compressed "on-the-fly". Powerful text, XML and spreadsheet import. A set of files (including compressed files) can be imported from a directory with a single command. Foreign key constraints are detected to insert the data in the correct order. Compare two database schemas for differences. The XML output can be transformed into the approriate SQL ALTER statements using XSLT.

Adminer

Replace phpMyAdmin with Adminer and you will get a tidier user interface, better support for MySQL features, higher performance and more security. Security is #1 priority in development of Adminer. Adminer does not allow connecting to databases without a password and it rate-limits the connection attempts to protect against brute-force attacks. Still, consider making Adminer inaccessible to public by whitelisting IP addresses allowed to connect to it, password-protecting the access in your web server, enabling security plugins (e.g. to require an OTP) or by customizing the login method. You can also delete Adminer if not needed anymore, it is just one file which is easy to upload in the future. Adminer had some security bugs in the past so update whenever Adminer tells you there is a new version available (ask your administrator if you could not update yourself). Connect to a database server with username and password. /Select an existing database or create a new one.

Postico

Postico is a database client. Postico can connect to a local PostgreSQL server running on your Mac, or to remote servers running on a different computer. If you want to install a local PostgreSQL server on your Mac, I recommend Postgres.app. Postgres.app starts a PostgreSQL server running locally on your Mac. The first time it starts it will automatically create a new data directory and set up an empty database. After a few moments, the server will be running and waiting for connections. Postgres.app can't start when another PostgreSQL server is already running on your computer. If you run into problems, make sure to deactivate or uninstall other PostgreSQL installations. Reboot your computer after uninstalling! To connect to a PostgreSQL server with Postico, you must first create a favorite. A favorite contains parameters for connecting to a server. Some connection parameters are optional.
