[REQ] Multiple RDBMS support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

With the changes from 9.5 to 9.6, Sequel Pro is nearly flawless, and absolutely 
awesome.  It is by far 
my program of choice, but sometimes I have to deal with other RDBMSs, and I 
have to use some 
second- or third-rate tool (which is usually not free).   (I've used some tools 
that have more features 
than Sequel Pro, but they're usually ugly and non-intuitive, probably designed 
for full-time DBAs, 
not for developers.)

The name change from CocoaMySQL to Sequel Pro leaves open the possibility of 
supporting 
databases other than MySQL.  Of course you probably want to wait until after 
1.0 to consider doing 
this, but what about supporting SQLite and PostgreSQL?    A lot of developers 
use SQLite locally, and 
quite a few seem to be moving to Postgres.

I realize this feature belongs on the backlog, and not something to be done 
right away, but please 
consider adding it.

+1 for PostgreSQL support.

I have to use Navicat for Postgres and it is HORRIBLE and completely 
un-intuitive compared to the Sequel Prop UI. PLEASE add Postgres support! I 
will throw money at you!

You'd rather throw a Cocoa developer with Postgres experience at us willing to 
implement it.

Just as a note, a TextMate 2.0 alpha was released, does that mean that work 
might have started on this? ;-)

Per Comment #40, I think we have to wait until TextMate 2.0 is released stable. 
Just because an alpha has been released doesn't mean that the product itself 
has been released.

The stage where we start working on this is definitely getting closer.  I am 
surprised that TM2 might actually release beforehand though :)

SQLite support for me too! Thanks for a superb tool so far.

I posted a message on the google mailing list but it seems to be dead, so here 
I am !

SequelPro is a really great tool (that said the other mysql frontend are so 
bad...) and I would love to see Postgresql support added as well, actually I 
wanted to try postgresql for a long time now but there is simply no real client 
out there which is sad and I just can't use a database without a proper 
client...

To provide more motivation how about trying to raise donations specifically for 
this ? I would clearly consider donating for postgresql support.

Original comment by schmu...@gmail.com on 19 May 2012 at 1:16

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The only way we could realise this with donations is if we can pay a developer 
full-time for a period of 6 to 12 months which would only for 6 months means 
62'000€ to 87'000€

I don't think we could raise this amount - and even then we have not yet found 
anyone proficient enough in ObjC to understand the Sequel Pro code AND be 
willing to implement postgres.

Original comment by schlabbe...@gmail.com on 19 May 2012 at 2:55

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ok, so no Postgresql support would be forthcoming, how about Sqlite 3. Is that 
still in the cards?

@Max Did you guys ever consider starting something like a Kickstarter campaign 
to raise the necessary funds? Finding a single sponsor which can come up with a 
€90k donation would be tough, but crowd funding might be an option. I've no 
idea how many users are interested in Postgres support, but from the activity 
in this thread, I think quite a lot. The exposure might also trigger corporate 
sponsors (maybe a Postgres only platform like Heroku?) to participate. Just 
thinking out loud here.

I would back a Kickstarter campaign for Postgres (or Oracle as I have to use it 
at work).

Original comment by jjlharri...@gmail.com on 19 May 2012 at 4:45

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Getting money is step 2.
Step 1 is finding a developer who could do the job.

The only one we did ever find ran away screaming and started his own database 
client ;)

Original comment by schlabbe...@gmail.com on 19 May 2012 at 4:47

[GoogleCodeExporter]

what is the database client he created ?:)
(I am not linked to it in any way but I read good things about 
http://menial.co.uk/software/base/ as an sqlite client)

I think a Kickstarter campaign could do really well. Yes you need a developer, 
but with enough money you can attract good developers to free up their time.

I'm not sure if you are actively looking for developers who'd like to help, but 
I know a bit about the sqlite internals and C/C++ API and would be willing to 
try to start an effort for sqlite integration if the codebase is anywhere near 
ready for it.

sorry devzone, what is the link supposed to mean, that there won't be any 
Sqlite3 support any time soon?

I was referring to support inside of Sequel Pro.

I certainly would spend some money in a kickstarter campaign.

Not to simply +1 the bug report, but I would also be down for a kickstarter 
campaign.

Hoping for PostgreSQL support but I see similar requests have been here for 
over 3 years so... I'm guessing it's never going to happen.

I am watching this thread for over a year now and I have a similar feeling. I 
would also spend money to see postgresql support in sequel pro.

It took Mozilla 10 years and 12 days to fix a MAJOR bug in Firefox.
We are a much smaller team and this is an enhancement request.

I would also love to see postgres support.   I also pay for the upgrade to have 
postgres support.

Maybe you could make a Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/) for 
implementing support for multiple database systems (MySQL, PosgreSQL, SQLite) 
on Sequel Pro, I would definitely pay for it! Since I have no experience in OS 
X application development, I am not able to support you in another way.

Textmate 2.0 is still in Alpha though ;)

Original comment by schlabbe...@gmail.com on 10 May 2013 at 8:49

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I don't know if Textmate 2 is still tagged Alpha. but I am using it for a year 
and half already and it works very well. I don't know what's the relation 
though.

Sequel-Pro is also very awesome. and PostgreSQL support would be much 
appreciated.

thank you

Textmate 2.0 is still i Alpha, true, but at least it came out (against all 
odds)!

And that's the reason we all went to SublimeText.

:)

Original comment by kaku...@gmail.com on 11 May 2013 at 6:28

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Nonetheless, has anyone actually bought SublimeText?

Original comment by terinjokes@gmail.com on 11 May 2013 at 6:30

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I bought SublimeText.

About PostgreSQL support, that part haven't been touched in the sourcecode 
since january. Don't seem to get much attention.

Original comment by kasperha...@gmail.com on 11 May 2013 at 7:06

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'd say everyone who was using Textmate has seen the light and now bought 
SublimeText, including me.

Or switched to MacVim, but could we keep this discussion on topic?

Original comment by Felix.Bu...@gmail.com on 12 May 2013 at 9:27

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I just voted for this issue, but wanted to say that the reason for my vote is 
for PostgreSQL support in particular. I'm about to switch jobs from working 
with MySQL, where I have loved using Sequel Pro, to working with PostgreSQL. I 
will greatly miss Sequel Pro :(, but I hope for not toooooo long!

> Textmate 2.0 is still in Alpha though ;)

But Sequel Pro is out of Alpha and into 1.0.2 ;) But all jokes aside, why not 
start a Kickstarter for it? I'd be more than happy to participate for such a 
thing.

Kickstarter campaign!!! 

I really think if you guys start one, it's going to be a success.

The problems with Kickstarter have already been discussed above.

A ctrl + f "Kickstarter" doesn't show any discussion about it, could you link

Not entirely related to this issue, but as best I can tell PGcommander is 
half-baked at best. Definitely not a replacement.

Sequel Pro is much more full featured (SSH tunnels, better UX experience, less 
convoluted interface, etc.)
