User Testimonials
DBeaverApexSQL by Quest
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

As soon as I start developing a new query or script, I just need to type my keywords and then all the basic for my work is already there. Just need to worry for the pesonalization. Also, I can have a template for very different scenarios, also the code suggestions, makes my code review and any error debug easier

  • Need to improve on optimization sometimes it take too much time during data loading and unloading
  • The IDE comes in web browser.It should develop its own IDE to write code
  • I don't particularly appreciate that there is no way to get all data for any records

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

Alternatives Considered
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.

It's free to use and it has a lot of unique features like tab navigation, Coloring of tabs, Execution alerts, helps in automatically writing query and the best what I liked in ApexSQL is fast database creating,tables auto fill.i recommend giving the tools a try as i think you will find them very useful
