DBeaver vs. MySQL Workbench

Great tool for developers to use to dive into their databases. Not so great if you are a die-hard Windows user with expectations of a SQL Management studio replacement. This is the less suited tool for people looking to just view and edit data. If you need to generate any scripts or import and export data, this is the tool to use.

It works best when you need to create basic queries or manage an simple MySQL schema. For more complicated data modeling, I'll use another tool. You can't beat the price though.

• Identify types of DB connections by color code: development, testing and production.
• Predictive typing, it is incredibly accurate and saves me a lot of time.
• Jump between different simultaneous DB connections.
• Navigate through the schema object tree.
• Provide all the tools I need in one window.

• Send queries to DB
• Export results in csv

Incentivized

• No support for NoSQL databases.
• The interface could be confusing for first-time users.
• No support for multiple queries in one editor.

• On the Mac version, quitting always throws an exception. More of an annoyance but still. This should have been fixed a long time ago.

Quite complicated. It's unrealistic to use without prior preparation (guides on youtube or colleagues' help).

Not a lot of users have DBeaver so fewer resources are available online to help you if you have any issues. When I was trying to figure out how to create my own ER diagrams, it was a little tough to find resources

We found that sharing scripts and generating DDLs from Snowflake's IDE was a bit too much of a chore. Because of this, we began looking for alternate products. We found DBeaver, a free community tool, and tried it out. We've found that it is very intuitive and easy to use, I would recommend it.

phpMyAdmin is way better only when local database is concerned but MySQL Workbench is way better then SQLyog because of the more cleaner UI and cost. SQLyog does not have any open-source featuring whereas MySQL Workbench has open source edition with lot of good free features. So MySQL Workbench is powerful than SQLyog.

• Positive Ability to manage DBeaver and query ad-hoc quickly
• By having the queries saved it has saved developer time and thereby increased the ROI on the investment on the tool
• This has made firefighting quicker and freed up resources for more development work.

Incentivized

• It provides good features and saves the time.
• When we use remote server, we can connect without using ssh etc. so saves the time and easy to understand.
• Do not have to write the queries to check the schema, so saves the time.
