Completely free and very powerful database manager. Works good on Linux using Wine (using 5.18 at this moment). As of 5.11 supports: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, SQLite

Very easy program, good functionality, but a very many of bugs, low stability, frequent crashes (v 9.x).

[Edited by gennadysmagin, July 19] The program is still extremely unstable. Falls and crashes happen all the time.

light weight, configurable UI, and less bugs than navicat ... though less functions, but they are not so important and not so irreplaceable ... and the most important : free !!!

MySQL Workbench did not support MariaDB PHPMyAdmin is slower DBeaver has more functions but large

thanks HeidiSQL
