What does HackerNews think of Sequel-Ace?

MySQL/MariaDB database management for macOS

Language: Objective-C

#70 in Hacktoberfest
#39 in macOS
#9 in MySQL
#4 in Swift
Sequel Pro have been abandoned and lacks support for some newer version of databases, and there is a maintained fork here: https://github.com/Sequel-Ace/Sequel-Ace
TablePlus (https://tableplus.com/) is better.

Or Sequel Ace (https://github.com/Sequel-Ace/Sequel-Ace) if you need to interact with MySQL databases, or similar, like MariaDB.

Also, the poster should have linked to Postico 2 — https://eggerapps.at/postico2/

How has no one mentioned Sequel Pro and its successor Sequel Ace? It’s a classic, free native Mac app.

EDITED based on other comments

If I was getting new, I would definitely check out popsql, tableplus, and datagrip first.

Have you seen Sequel Ace? It’s a fork of the project that’s maintained again. https://github.com/Sequel-Ace/Sequel-Ace

I also use Postico for Postgres https://eggerapps.at/postico/ the UI there is nice as well. It’s the closest I could find to Sequel Pro.

I use a mix of the below:

- IntelliJ (similar notebook style setup as Datagrip for SQL queries)

- Sequel Ace - a fork of Sequel Pro
