I'm out. I'll gladly buy a license though, exactly once. Willing to pay you for your time, but I'm tired of "rental economy".

- Taking a huge risk with the naming here, I would be expecting to hear from a Microsoft lawyer any minute (Due to MS's flagship 'SQL Server Management Studio').
e: Don't let this dishearten you, I only would consider a name change to be more of your own brand. When I saw 'SQL Studio', I assumed MS had created an online version of their product. This looks like a well-done passion project.

- This looks really cool, but I'm not going to use it today, because it only supports SQLite, with Postgres and SQL Server "coming soon." This seems like a very odd starting point, especially for a paid tool. I don't have any SQLite databases I'd want to explore, and certainly none with "massive tables." I'd want to use it for Postgres and MySQL/MariaDB first.
Also, if autocomplete is what we care about, PRQL support seems like it will offer the best experience. https://prql-lang.org/ PRQL queries transpile to SQL. Just having the `FROM` clause first does wonders for autocomplete.

- I thought this was from MS, who also has a program called MSSQL Management Studio, short SQL Studio. They will come after this for sure.
- I'm a huge fan of Postico. It does the one thing I need (DB data exploration and editing) and does it well.
What I really miss in DB Tooling is something like SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare from Red Gate. It used to work with SQL server, and would compare two databases and produce "diff" SQL statements to get from one to the other.
It was awesome for deployments. Most frameworks handle DDL via migrations, and that works well, but one-time data migrations that are tested in QA and should be pushed live... I've never found a better workflow apart from generating one-time scripts. Now with AI that's easier, but until recently, it wasn't.
Not sure if that's the plan for this app eventually, but I sorely miss it, wasn't sure if others felt the same.

- I really love it when a single dev makes something like this at a price point that's pretty cheap for us - potentially very lucrative for the developer. That's how we should be doing it - stop working for the man if you can!

- Interesting there now seems to be an insurgence of SQL workbench type apps. I also saw DB Pro recently.
Despite all of these really polished query editing experiences in these new apps, I reach for Redash every single time. Even though Redash's editor is horrible. The ability to generate even extremely simple sharable visualizations, and alerts is insanely useful.
So to any of the devs of these programs out there: ship visualizations and alerts and I will buy your product immediately.
- JetBrains' excellent DataGrip IDE is free for non-commercial use, and IntelliJ Ultimate (which includes the DB functionality in addition to every single thing in all their other IDE products) costs a little under 3x what you're asking for for this app alone. A bit of a hard sell.
- This looks great, with postgres support I could see myself using this regularly.
What is the landscape for simple tools for writing to databases? We used to have Access and simple CRUD tools. I saw a demo of Steve Jobs demoing NextStep which had this beautiful CRUD generator which obviously does not exist today.
It seems like the landscape is basically Airtable, Retool, Google Forms or roll your own with a more sophisticated stack. I feel like it ought to be incredibly easy to build a form, either web based or native, which writes to a database. Yet it seems like we are farther away from this than we have ever been
- This looks cool and it hits a niche. There are suprisingly few good IDEs for DB work. I use DuckDB a lot for analytics tasks mostly in DataGrip but its not great. The alternatives like DBeaver are ok but not that great as well.
- Why should I use this instead of DataGrip?

- It took me a second to realize this wasn't some cursor-style Microsoft replacement of SSMS, which would seem to lend some credibility to the potential for consumer confusion and trademark infringement, though of course IANAL
- Is there a spec sheet or anything like that? I realize it's only for sqlite now, but supposing it's available for Postgres soon, I have a bunch of hard requirements. First is native support for SSH jump hosts. Next is query plan view.
- why does a software like this needs a subscription?
- I've known and used SQL for 25 years; over the last year I haven’t written a single query by hand - AI is very good at it. I use SQL editors only to quickly see what I have there and to check the AI-generated query.

- I'd love to see a new SQL program that focuses on the design view/access style with the tables joined with lines. For people who aren't used to code its the easiest way to get what is in each table

- Really should consider supporting Oracle. So many companies are married to it, could even offer it under a corporate recurring license. It's easily worth the money to them.

- There’s also SQLPro Studio - the studio namespace is getting crowded!

- “Made by a single developer” is only a selling point if it is someone with a strong track record to maintain the software, otherwise it’s just saying the bus factor is 1.

- A business analyst friend of mine and SQL novice was given a multi-tabbed editor like this (edit: apparently it was not this brand-new app). We found it difficult to track which query and results tabs are linked, whether they've been refreshed since the query was edited, whether queries in a script have been executed out of order, etc. Hopefully there are ways to address those usability issues.

- There's already one available at https://sqlitestudio.pl/, which I've been using for many years, and it's very stable.

- Looks nice. But not "Ready to experience the future?" nice.
- Kudos on the beautifully and thoughtfully designed landing page - which is becoming a rarity these days. Most product landing page highlight adjectives and abstract value propositions with links to join waiting lists for 'priority' access - providing little insight into the value proposition of the product itself. Not to mention the gratuitous visual effects.
So its a pleasure to see a thoughtfully done product landing page (which strongly signals that the same care will have gone into the product). The page is performant, no gratuitous visual effects. It clearly highlights the core product value propositions in the context of product visuals. Addresses key hesitations clearly and upfront (e.g. no cc required, pricing information), and a simple, obvious call to action.
Hopefully more people follow this template than the slop generated by auto generators.
- Not to be confused with SQLite studio, which is open source and actively maintained for nearly 20 years https://sqlitestudio.pl/
- I have recently asked my LinkedIn audience if my company should build a great PostgreSQL IDE. That's my wish for many years, and I know exactly where we can provide significant value over existing solutions. Yet basically everyone said not to do it.
Too many free options, hard to get people to change habits, you can't charge enough because devs just don't want to pay if they can help it.
I decided we will build something else. That said, good luck to this developer, I hope their product takes off.
- Thank you for not pushing yet another Claude wrapper and having a nice clean page!
What is your timeline for Postgres support? I'll subscribe the moment it's available.

- Do we still need tools like this (with a subscription) when we have AI? Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely built with love but I haven’t used a tool like this (I used to use SQLTools in vscode) in about 4 years.
Everything we do is via agents or in code.
