Hi pawan163,

Not sure where to start on this one :)  Could you maybe give us a few more 
details?
 - Which OS X version?
 - Which machine type?
 - When you double-click on the app, does it do anything at all?  Bounce, then quit without ever showing anything?  Not even bounce in the dock?  Show a crash dialog?  Show an error message?
 - Is this with a fresh download of 1.0.2, or another version?
 - If you open up Console.app (in /Applications/Utilities) and try opening Sequel Pro, does anything get logged in Console.app?

Thanks.

 - Which OS X version?
 -- 10.7.5

 - Which machine type?
 -- Mac Mini

 - When you double-click on the app, does it do anything at all?  Bounce, then quit without ever showing anything?  Not even bounce in the dock?  Show a crash dialog?  Show an error message?
 -- It bounces --> then it takes a while --> then it utilizes all the memory available --> leaves the system unresponsive --> not sure whether it opens itself coz i killed the process from activity monitor.

 - Is this with a fresh download of 1.0.2, or another version?
 -- It was installed on my system and was working fine and suddenly it started behaving in this manner. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling and updating to new version, but invain.

 - If you open up Console.app (in /Applications/Utilities) and try opening Sequel Pro, does anything get logged in Console.app?
 -- I have never checked console log for this.

Hi pawan163,

Starting to suspect what could be the problem here...

Could you run the following command in a terminal?

ls -lh ~/Library/Preferences/com.sequelpro.SequelPro.plist

I suspect the size of this file is going to be rather high.  Have you been 
running lots of large queries in the custom query window recently?  If so, you 
can run the following command in Terminal to delete your query history:

defaults delete com.sequelpro.SequelPro queryHistory

...that should get you up and running again.

If it's not that, we can debug a bit further...

Hi,

Thanks for the details you mentioned. I couldn't find 
com.sequelpro.SequelPro.plist under ~/Library/Preferences but i was able to 
find com.google.code.sequel-pro.plist whose size was >600 MB.

So I deleted this file and it works nicely. And i used to run a lot of heavy 
queries.

Thanks a lot mate.. :)

Hi pawan163,

Thanks for the update.  That's a bit of a known issue and one we need to 
address - sorry about that...

Glad that at least it's fixed in the meantime :)
