Re: I'd like a lightweight alternative to pgAdmin4 ?

BigSQL has a pgAdmin 3 LTS fork they are providing minimal support for to ease the transition. It will connect to 10 without warnings, but it doesn’t support the new features.
https://www.openscg.com/2017/06/pgadmin3-lts-now-supports-postgresql-10/

I would suggest keep trying pgAdmin 4 and reporting on issues, so progress towards making it the tool we want it to be.

I too am finding it to be a rough time for PostgreSQL GUIs. I find myself hopping between pgAdmin 3, pgAdmin 4, and DataGrip.

I haven't tried 2.0 but all versions I have tried after 1.2 on my Mac are so slow to paint the screen they are unusable.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi
call me oldfashioned but I'd like to have a lightweight alternative
to pgAdmin4.

pgAdmin3 does in 99% of the time all I have to do with PG, throwing
SQL at the server and getting some stuff back.
It starts fast, offers multi-window and drag&drop of scripts into
the editor.

I really do appreciate all the work put into PG and pgAdmin4
but pgAdmin4 is more nice to look at than to work with.

pgAdmin3 sadly doesn't like PG 10, so I'm looking in a dead end.

Is there any other tool to talk with PG that doesn't carry so much bulk?

Regards
Andreas
