Sequel Pro is a relational database software solution offered by Sequel Pro.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/lw/PQ/GI955MTALKUK.pngSequel ProExtremely unreliable SQL program that would be great if it just worked2019-07-18T01:56:13.067ZSequel Pro is used to query data from our system. This is usually limited to our test QA databases. It's also used to test certain elements when creating new features to ensure that data is being created correctly in the appropriate tables. It is used across our engineering and product departments today.,Ability to quickly connect to a variety of databases.
Ability to see the schema and data within the tables so you don't have to go looking for it.
Theoretically, the ability to have multiple connections open in multiple tabs at the same time (see problems section for why I say "theoretically").
Ability to write queries and have them execute locally.
Quickly see relations between tables and rows in tables.,It crashes CONSTANTLY. If you have more than one connection tab open and close one of them, it crashes. If you just have it open in the background, it randomly crashes. If you're using it, it randomly crashes. When you try to send a crash report, the CRASH REPORTER CRASHES.
Can be a bit slow.
No way that I'm aware of to query multiple databases in the same query.,4,Unreliability has lead to wasted time and frustration among staff.
The ease of testing database changes and modifying test data WHEN IT WORKS theoretically makes testing quick and easy but in reality, this is far outweighed by the wasted time and frustration involved with it not being reliable.
The ease of seeing the relations between tables is very nice and saves time when trying to see how unfamiliar tables are connected.,Snowflake, Slack, Trello, GoToMeeting, Postman, screenflowJake SchlingmanSimple yet powerful2019-04-10T17:59:45.783ZSequel Pro is an SQL client app that works only on a MacOS. It is used by backend developers who work with the business data layer, and APIs that power the frontend applications. Also, it's most suited for development environments where it helps the developers to quickly perform DDL and DML operations. There are few developers who choose to stick to the CLI, but still, I see more value in a GUI application which saves a lot of time in writing queries.,Very simple to install and use. Installation is as simple as a drag and drop.
Clean and intuitive UI.
It's open-source and free.
No annoying ads and diversions, which keeps you most productive.
Multiple server sessions and profiles.
Multi-tabs and windows to manage multiple connections or the same connection.,A nice to have feature request -- Skins and themes.
Must fix intermittent app crashes, which happen when there is more than 1 tab open.
Support for more SQL servers.,10,It helped us save on licensing costs.
Saved a lot of time for people who work with multiple databases and environments.,,JIRA Software, Kubernetes, Slack, Chrome DevToolsBhargav NanekalvaSequel Pro - best MySQL data editor available2018-09-18T14:34:25.058ZSequel Pro is used in my department for database maintenance. It greatly simplifies the task of correcting data errors in MySQL tables.,Editing existing data. Editing record contents is trivial in Sequel Pro, while not nearly as easy in MySQL Workbench or phpMyAdmin.
Deleting data - even simpler than editing data.
Inserting new data - using "Duplicate row" then making needed changes is very simple.,Sequel Pro would benefit from the addition of a tool to simplify the creation of new tables.,10,Sequel Pro has made the process of correcting incorrect or incomplete records much faster. This allows me to operate much more efficiently.,Dan MahoneyThe best tool I've used for MySQL management2018-08-24T20:05:42.362ZI use Sequel Pro on a daily basis and it helps me to better manage and organize our project databases, without needing to use a browser based solution like phpMyAdmin. We use it in both local, staging and production environments.,Creating new databases and managing them, like editing some specific fields and options
Great interface; it's easy to execute functions like SQL commands that automates our workflow
The way it imports existing databases makes everything much easier, so we just need to import ZIP or SQL files,Improving the way we create new connections to remote databases
I couldn't find any way to configure my local server (MySQL), so I need to make changes on server outside the application. I know that there are other tools that integrate it, so you don’t have to leave the workflow
It could have a feature to integrate our databases or connections (favorites) with other devices, like using Google Drive or Dropbox. It would be really useful!,10,The user interface is great. Since all of our computers are macOS based, we can all use it and share knowledge with our colleagues
It enables me to make things in such a faster way that it enables us to spend our time with coding and providing more solutions to our clients
The workflow is much improved with the import and export feature, so we don't waste time with that kind of work.,Workbench Enterprise,Chrome DevTools, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Apple iCloud, Apple Remote Desktop, Parallels Desktop, SkypeCarlos Eduardo de SouzaFree, powerful and easy to use database management tool2017-12-13T18:44:44.454ZSequel Pro is used by our developers for accessing MySQL and alternatives like MariaDB. We work with many different clients and websites so having a GUI application that stores credentials for this database but also provides the ability to perform basic to advanced tasks and queries has proven far more efficient than using the terminal or web-based applications like PhpMyAdmin.,Searching and filtering
Connections over SSH
Raw SQL when you need it
Database and table management
User management, credentials and roles,Some queries can be slow and fail to stop
Support for different types of database structures like SQLite or NoSQL would be awesome,10,It's free. You really can't go wrong there.,PhpMyAdmin, DB Browser, Base, MySQL Workbench and QueriousJoey YaxSequel Pro is for sure an analyst-friendly data leverage tool2017-11-10T16:37:04.517ZI use Sequel Pro daily for my analyses at my company. I don't necessarily run queries in Sequel Pro all the time but it is absolutely my first choice when I need to filter the data or do a quick sanity check. It's used across the whole company.,Filtering/Sorting data based on single constraint including equal to/in/like/between etc.
Sanity check or data integrity check.
Color coding of different tabs is pretty useful.,With multiple tabs open, a user can easily forget in which tab he writes query and in which he checks the content. Probably some UI improvements.
Exporting data/query result is not that easy compared to other similar products.,10,It helps with the efficiency of our daily analyses since a lot of the simple queries can be avoided.
It's easier to spot data integrity issues. One example will be by sorting the data in the content view, you can easily tell if the data is updated or not.,PostgreSQL and MySQL,MySQL, Treasure Data, Tableau Desktop, SlackVerified UserSequel Pro: Everything you need in a Mac MySQL interface2017-03-08T22:38:29.078ZSequel Pro is almost indispensable in our organization. It strikes the perfect balance of intuitive UX and powerful capabilities. We use it internally to query from several databases containing ad-performance data. It is useful for everything from simple exploratory data work to query optimization for BI visualization tools. Sequel Pro's ability to view/create/change database structure and relations make dealing with API or data structure changes a breeze.,A favorite Sequel Pro feature is the UI for Table/Database creation. APIs and data structures change often so having an intuitive way to make quick updates is a lifesaver.
Sequel Pro makes it easy to manage and connect to multiple databases with tabbed windows. It's great to have multiple databases open with their specific queries stored and ready to go.
As the database admin for my team I also value the ability to manage users and database privileges. As our teams change in size or different clients and applications need access I can easily create and provision credentials.,Wish it could handle more database types. As of now it can't connect to disparate datasources.
Wish it could autoformat.
Error messages aren't typically verbose enough to really debug a query without resorting to EXPLAIN queries.,9,Simplifies Ad-Hoc reporting requiring less analyst hours for quick turn around tasks.
Helped tune database for B.I. application speed.
Reduced reliance on bad visual query builders on some B.I. visualization tools.,,Tableau Desktop, Chartio, Nielsen Digital Ads RatingsKyle RandolphSequel Pro is the first thing you should install if you're administering a MySQL server on a Mac2017-02-15T18:38:56.013ZSequel Pro is my MySQL client of choice. I use it on my Macbook and it is used to administer my databases, both locally and on our servers via an SSH tunnel. The main business problem it solves is to provide a GUI-based client for managing and administration of MySQL databases.,Very easy to do backups and restore of MySQL databases using their SQL export function. The function also compresses the output so you can create a .gz file. Multiple formats of export are supported, including CSV and SQL.
Connecting to remote databases using SSH tunnels works great with Sequel Pro. It automatically establishes the SSH tunnel to the correct port and logs you in seamlessly.
Seeing all currently running queries and all processes on the server is easy with Sequel Pro. It also allows you an auto-refresh option so you can constantly monitor the queries coming in. This is very useful when diagnosing MySQL query bottlenecks for web application databases.,I don't see a way in Sequel Pro to easily see and monitor MySQL's MyISAM keybuffer usage and InnoDB's buffer pool usage.
The tool currently doesn't help you optimize your MySQL configuration variables. It would be very useful to be able to keep the client open for monitoring a DB server for a long time and then based on query usage, the tool could provide you with optimum variable settings for your server.
The Query window that lets you write a SQL query by hand is not particularly smart. It doesn't autocomplete your queries or show you any syntax help or suggestions. When you try to run a bad query, you simply get back the error that MySQL would throw -- Sequel Pro will not help you debug the query.,9,Saves time in connecting to server-side MySQL databases because it remembers key info needed to set up the SSH tunnels.
Makes it easy to do backup and restore of MySQL databases with minimum downtime.
Provides a quick and easy way to access, review and edit the underlying data in any MySQL database or table using behind any of our company's web applications.,SQLyog, MySQL Workbench, Postico and Querious,Skype, Google Drive, Nginx, Apache Web Server, WordPress, GitHub, DigitalOcean, Trello, Slack, PostgreSQLAnand ChhatparSQL Pro is Killer2017-04-11T20:26:09.382ZIt's used for building reports, queries and basic SQL Server management.,Simple, intuitive interface

More complex management abilities,8,Saves time and system resourcesBrad MagyarGreat Database Navigator!2017-06-15T15:39:51.829ZSequel Pro is used as a database management interface at our company. It's used widely across engineering, and it's a good access point for engineers, product managers, etc. It is a versatile tool for peeking into databases and being able to view the tables and db schema from a top down prospective. Makes it easy for both technical and less technical people all the same.,Easy to understand interface
Very versatile; it is powerful to both the beginner, and the expert
It makes it easy to navigate across various databases on different servers,There's not much missing, the tool is pretty complete
There could be an easier way to setup ssh tunnels that require using different keys
It would be cool if the console was more customizable,9,Makes it easy for people across engineering to peek into the database autonomously
Provides an easy avenue for people to demo database changes
Makes it easy to modify values in the database when testing,MySql,MySQL, Pivotal Tracker, BambooHRVerified User
