What Hacker News says

pgAdmin 3 still exists and afaik remains compatible with newer Postgres releases. You can still use it. Postage, a tool developed by a family of software devs, was gaining popularity but recently became unmaintained without explanation (afaik). [0] I started using IntelliJ DataGrip on a trial basis and it's good, but I probably won't pay for it. Sick of paying monthly subscription fee for every little tool I need from JetBrains, especially when I put down a project and don't need that tool for another x months. Used DBeaver briefly but it's so many clicks just to set up a primary key that I shelved it for now. Will probably come back to it when DataGrip trial is over. Not a conventional management tool but pgModeler [1] is a cool project IMO. Open-source, but they put a limit on the Windows binaries they distribute to try to get people to

fund development. Can build from source yourself, install on Linux, or probably find free third-party builds elsewhere. I think that most devs are just sticking with pgadmin3. [0] https://github.com/workflowproducts/postage [1] https://pgmodeler.com.br/
In PostgreSQL 10 Released

Postage 3.2.3 is here VIEWs are now formatted

Postage Release 3.2.3, is here! Please give it a try and report any issues. NEW features in 3.2.3 you don't want to miss: -a new text Explain -VIEWs are now formatted! (I love this feature!) -we added a 'beautify' button so you can format your SQL scripts -splash page tells you what the latest PostgreSQL patch is when you're behind -===>Fixed a BUG where the cursor didn't respond to arrow and tab keys <=== -current user is now more obvious (thank you clomdd!) But the biggest new feature for me is, [CTRL]-[RETURN] now runs the query under the cursor! I love it! Now when you're working on some query you can run it without your hands leaving the home keys even if there are other queries on the screen. No more select with the mouse and F5 dance! As always, if you think of a feature Postage needs, please submit an issue to Github. We'll toss i

t around and see what we can do. The [CTRL]-[RETURN] shortcut to run the query under the cursor was submitted by billrobertson42, originally on Reddit. Special thanks to billrobertson42! Cool stuff in 3.2.2 you may have missed: -Expanded object support in the object tree -more wordy buttons so it's easier to find features -those fancy variable width lines on the graphical explain. -you can now stop a large result set from being downloaded.
