On: MySQL 8.0: Retiring Support for the Query Cache

[h1d]

It's good that MySQL gets better because I'm tied to it since Sequel Pro is the best database browser there is and it only supports MySQL.

Datagrip has that Java kind of non-nativeness (weird scrolling and the looks) and it's never easy to read/write triggers, relations and export data into csv etc.

I did find Postico being decent last time I checked but what a limiting factor on the tooling.

http://dbeaver.jkiss.org/ is the best I've used for a universal SQL (and nosql) client.

I started using it since it was last mentioned on HN and it's really impressive, I've been converted.

JetBrains DataGrip comes close and supports many different SQL dialects (it's also comes with IntelliJ as the SQL plugin).

datagrip/intellij is great, no weird scrolling for me.

lots of benefits when renaming tables/cols - it updates my java references too.

Saying sequel pro is the best is rather controversial, ever tried pgadmin or http://www.postgresqlstudio.org/, or sql server management studio.

I find the I'm much less productive on pgAdmin 4 compared to MySQL Workbench 6. On my machine the web-like interface that pgAdmin uses since version 4 seems rather unresponsive. It's still a relatively new product though, I'm sure it will perform better over time.

[nimchimpsky → mastazi]

pgadmin has been around since 1998.

Oh my god this 1000%

I will use the "worse" DB every time if it allows me to be more efficient in my work.
