Over the years, the PostgreSQL community has come up with many high-qualityopen-source GUI tools for manipulating, visualizing and sharing the data livingin Postgres servers. Here is a round up of various types of useful GUI toolsthat can help you and your team manage and share your data.
pgAdmin
It seems that DBeaver thinks I'm issuing an update statement, but this is just a select statement that returns rows and is valid. Is there a way to avoid 'smart' interpretation of the script by dbeaver and force it to think it's a select statement? (this has probably something to do with the BigQuery 'WITH' statement which confuses DBeaver). HeidiSQL, Navicat for MySQL, and DBeaver are probably your best bets out of the 15 options considered. 'Free' is the primary reason people pick HeidiSQL over the competition. This page is powered by a knowledgeable community that helps you make an informed decision. The BigQuery JDBC Driver enables users to connect with live BigQuery data, directly from any applications that support JDBC connectivity. Rapidly create and deploy powerful Java applications that integrate with Google BigQuery data including Tables and Datasets.
