Question:
I am struggling with the latest version of PGAdmin,.. is there any other database GUI that I can use?
Answer:
Why not try DBeaver! … https://dbeaver.io/
It’s a free multi-platform database tool for developers, SQL programmers, database administrators and analysts. Supporting all popular databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle etc…
I have just started to use DBeaver in place of PGAdmin as the new browser version of PGAdmin was less stable than before.
So far I have successfully managed to connect to my PostGIS Instance:
Viewed the Schemas and Tables in my PostGIS Database.
Viewed the records in a PostGIS table.
Ran a simple Query.
And viewed the query results in both an Attribute window.
And in a Spatial Viewer!
The Spatial Viewer alone has meant that I have decided to use DBeaver as my DB Manager for all things PostGIS for the coming months.
Watch this space for further FAQs and Blogs as I start to see how DBeaver can help me to manage my spatial datasets.
