Overall Satisfaction with Sequel Pro

Sequel 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.

Pros

  • 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

Cons

  • 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
  • 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
I've only ever used MySQL commandline (haven't tried any other GUIs for sql). Though I like Sequel Pro a lot, I just prefer using the terminal when doing DBA stuff on production databases because I can be sure of the commands I execute. For the test environment, and development though, it works great.
It's really good for when you want to take a look at the overall db schema from a top down view. Everything is laid out in a tree structure that allows you to see the tables and how they're put together. You can also edit rows really easily without typing out update statements.
