SQL Tabs For Mac

SQL Tabs is an open source and Electron-based cross-platform SQL client that makes it simple and straightforward to both explore and query databases using your Mac.

The SQL Tabs app helps you manage multiple types of databases, from MySQL, MariaDB, Postgresql, Amazon Redshift, MS SQL, to AlaSQL, and it can be used in on today's most popular platforms (i.e. macOS, Windows, and Linux).

Even though SQL Tabs features a seemingly simple and minimalist tab-based interface, its looks are quite deceiving seeing that even connecting to a database requires you to have at least a minimum of previous knowledge on how a database works.

Thankfully,  if you haven't connected to a database before, SQL Tabs'  developer provides you with extensive online documentation designed to get you up and running in just a few minutes.

Once you connect to your database, you can start exploring it using SQL Tabs' menu, which helps you to get detailed information about the database, to run SQL scripts, as well as view the current object's information and the full history for the current work session.

SQL Tabs also comes with more advanced features such as Markdown rendering, rich scripts output, and the capability to generate charts using your queries' results.

SQL Tabs provides you with bright and dark user interface themes, for working during the day and at night, and it has two editing modes, a classic one and a Vim one for users who don't want to use the mouse while managing their databases.

On the whole, SQL Tabs is a streamlined and comprehensive SQL client, that manages to pack most of the features needed for exploring and querying a database.

The only downside would be a steeper learning curve than the usual, although easily avoidable if you first read SQL Tabs' online documentation.
