Great app, and works well for me.
apparently there's still some issues with mySQL 8, but Im running v5.7.24 locally for my test databases - and I haven't come across any problems.

Im running the latest dev-build with Mojave dark mode support, which has also been rock solid:

Best app to use with SQL. Easy to start, nice to master, though not the ery best one for professionals.

(0)

Good for admin purposes, not a database design tool.

Love this app. It's so nice to have a desktop app for MySQL. phpMyAdmin was giving me problems lately, and I was looking to buy something over-the-top. Sequel Pro is easy to understand and use! Love it, would recommend to anyone with MySQL

Top! Works like a charm... Better than some paid App's ! Don't need more... @ Dev's well well done! Respect & thx for make it free!!!

Very easy to create and manage MySQL databases. Would have loved a built-in assistant for slightly more complex queries for filtering tables.

Version: 1.1

Caution: MacUpdate version of Sequel Pro is infected As of recently, when I download a file directly from MacUpdate, the downloads are infected with Install Core Installer (adware), while when these same files are downloaded directly from the developers they are clean.

Fantastic. Easy, self-explanatory UI. A few little quirks I'd change if I could. But for free? Who's complaining!

For me as a non-coder it´s great cause I don´t need no mess up with the shell.

Best in class.

The best client ever who I got for free to manage my SLQ dbases. And I'm so happy that this project is still alive. I only not like the new icon. Well, it's a bit funny, but it looks not like a charm. I loved so much the first icon with the dolphin... after a long time I give up to copy and past it with each update and now I got this yellow (urine) thing, served with butter :-X

v1.0 RC1 is out (you can download it via the blog pages) This latest release adds polish to the interface and even more stability. There are some great time savers such as folders in the connection list, and bug fixes (find/replace now work correctly in the edit-field view) All in all, this really is a gem of the Mac development tool world. It still has some features missing (Stored routine support is rudimentary so I use Workbench for that) but overall it is an A+ application. Future releases plan to support PostgrSQL and possibly SQLite which will open up this wonderful app to even more developers.

I'd love some additional features, but Sequel Pro does a whole a lot and well at that. Essential for testing MySQL on OS X.

I can't express how great this app is and I hope I reflect that within my rating but one thing that many Mac and web developers are using now is SQLite. This has been on Sequel Pros requested feature list for as long as I can remember yet it's never been implemented. There is not one single good SQLite DB editor on the market (even the paid ones suck IMO) and they could steal an entire market all with this one feature. I'm frustrated because your product rocks but it's got a glaring hole where SQLite integration should be! Other than that little rant, great job :)

As a long-time user of Navicat I was pleasantly surprised to discover Sequel Pro. Though it's not quite there yet, this could become a permanent replacement. Navicat has become increasingly frustrating to use since version 6 which was very good GUI-wise but sucked at handling Unicode data. I'm forced to use version 7 for some tasks and version 6 for others. I hate that. I just love Sequel Pro's user interface. Moreover, it's fast and stable. So why isn't it quite there yet? Data Transfer! I've got lots of databases in two or three locations that I need to synchronise frequently. Navicat makes that a doddle. So that's my number one feature request for Sequel Pro. Also, I haven't been able to figure out how to edit my stored procedures, but maybe I'm missing something obvious. Overall though, this is simply a wonderful piece of software. Kudos!

Ever since MySQL discontinued the (simple, but buggy) GUI Tool in favor of MySQL workbench, I have been meaning to find another free easy-to-use database management app. Sequel Pro is way better than I could have hoped for. This app instantly made my life easier when it comes to databases.

(2)

I have been managing many databases for personal and professional websites using this tool since months. It is so easy to use, clean interface and works just fine. I would pay for it !

Sequel Pro is awesome, why waste more time in mysql ! www.alainpicard.us

What is this like compared with navicat for mysql? This has very high star ratings think me needs to look at it....

Awesome work! Sequel Pro is the reason to use MySQL on the Mac. And everyone doing professional work using Sequel Pro, please consider a donation! http://www.sequelpro.com/donate.html as this free software is so much better than all the commercial packages out there.

(3)

What a great app! It's one of those things you do not realize you are missing, until you start using it. I started working on a large project few weeks ago and it required some major mysql work on the back end. Sequel Pro has been nothing but a life saver for me. Thank you for making my life easier.

Nice, cool, works pretty fine, active development and new features in every release. A must-have for MySQL management.

I know this is forked from CocoaMysql but it is so stable, usable, and fast that it is almost unrecognizable. I do not like to exaggerate things, but Sequel Pro kicks CocoaMySQL's butt. And then Sequel Pro goes to CocoaMySQL's home and seduces CocoaMySQL's mother, and then posts pictures of their first date on Facebook, and then friends all of CocoaMySQL's friends so the humiliation is complete. In one tight small package you get super-fast importing/exporting. The latest (unsupported) build of Cocoa Mysql always freezes when I try that. I tried printing and got something completely attractive and useful (alternating rows highlighted, the selection query at the top of the page, etc). Tabbing from field to field in edit mode -- when you finish a record, you are brought to the next record--you can edit multiple records without your fingers leaving the keyboard. I can't say enough good things about this app, especially after trying all the other dodgy, sketchy, janky rdbm clients out there. This is a weird thing to say, but muddling around in a MySQL database is now FUN, because it's just you and the data, and there's no fighting with the client app.

A very nice MySQL manager. It's very lightweight, responsive, and have many usefull features. I can manage multiple database with ease.

Wonderful

A wonderfully Mac-like and easy-to-use yet powerful MySQL database manager. I have used this with both local and remote databases, and I find its interface much faster and more efficient than phpMyAdmin, which is the only other database management tool I have used. The only time I encountered a problem was when I tried to add relations to a database - it gave a strange error that I'd have to look up to solve - but I was just playing around with the database, so I didn't really need relations. If you use relations in your database, try editing them before choosing with Sequel Pro, but otherwise, get this right away for your MySQL databases. I only wish that Sequel Pro could deal with other databases, too - I can't imagine those databases' tools being as good than this.

Insanely great.

The best just got better. Wow. Really impressed with how far this has come from the CocoaMySql fork. Great job guys.

With the latest update, I've been able to switch off Navicat for good. Good work creating an quick, native mac mysql app.

(2)

Works as advertised. Installation went fine.

Long time fan of CocoaMySQL. This is slightly nicer in some ways, vastly better in others. Specifically, I find that certain queries run considerably faster in Sequel Pro than they did in CMSQL. I would like some of the user management that's available in phpMyAdmin or Webmin to be present in one of the GUI tools. I haven't been using this long enough to really evaluate its stability, but so far so good.

Amazing little application with a very good interface. Loving it! :-)

Amazing app, especially at $0! Blows the pants off of the MySQL GUI tools for sure. Thanks for this app!!

(1)

Kudos for picking up this great project! Great to have cocoamysql back!

(2)

This is really nice. Finally a modern MySQL administration program that works AND is so very Mac-like. Love it!

(2)

Awesome, I'm loving it. Built in query tester / command line interface too. Really good.

(2)

'preciate it, guys. I've been looking for a fork of CocoaMySQL, ever since the dev stopped working on it. This is looking to be pretty good.

(2)

How mysql-specific is it, could it be extended to support postgresql and sqlite?
