    TablePlus is a basic SQL client, which is good for non data engineers / analysts. It's good for a basic occasional SQL.DBeaver is a more sophisticated tool, that can be used by data engineers / analysts, but is lacking in features for an everyday multi database environment …

    We needed an application which could connect to various databases no matter where it came from. Using Microsoft SQL, MySQL to name a few have simplified how we operate and provide reports daily.

    Chose DbVisualizer
    Far easier and better to manage and use than pgadmin now that they botched the implementation.

    I don't know how good erwin is now but it's a good example of a complete database schema management system which DbVisualizer is not.

    Oracle product - clunky UI, no mass DDL or data export. Bad editor
    DBeaver - setting JDBC drivers manually is a pain. Clunky UI.
    pgAdmin - good for pure DB admin, but SQL and table management is clunky.

    Whenever you have to access data sources from more than one database engine provider, you should consider using DbVisualizer for the task. Switching between multiples IDE consumes time and resources (memory), and you also need to learn menus, shortcuts, etc., for each IDE, while using DbVisualizer allows you to work consistently no matter which database engine you are connecting. You can use it to simply navigate through data structures, write SQL sentences or even create new tables and views, develop stored procedures, etc.

    Pros
    DbVis Software AB
    • Timed queries that add their result to the result grid for every execution are helpful. Creation of graphs also extremely helpful.
    • Query history and auto-recover feature makes sure we don't lose our queries.
    • Actions like exporting grids to Excel or other tools is a very easy task.

    Cons
    DbVis Software AB
    • Small, but noticeable: it would be nice to be able to highlight just one column of a data output for copy/paste by clicking on the column header (a feature some of us are accustomed to from SQL Server Management Studio)
    • Is there an ability to bulk import an excel file to a table in a connected SQL Server in DbVis? If so, I haven't figured that out yet. I still largely use Microsoft SSMS to import data to our team's personal SQL Server, but can easily query that server via DbVis)
    • (I really don't have any major complaints - our company has tried to steer users toward DBeaver for YEARS, which I cannot stand. DbVis knocks the beaver out of the water)

    DbVisualizer provides a good value when compared against other 3rd party products with similar features as well as products with similar functionality made by the database vendors. The user interface is good and user friendly / intuitive and easy to learn. It doesn't take too long for an experienced DBA / database developer to come up to speed.
