Hi,

I recently bought by first Mac and I’m looking for some alternatives for  
my windows applications.

Does anybody know a decent gui admin app for postgresql? On windows I  
use postgresql manager:  
[http://www.sqlmanager.net/en/products/postgresql/manager](http://www.sqlmanager.net/en/products/postgresql/manager)

I find this a very good piece of software and it’s free, even though I  
paid a little for some extra features. I’d love to use something similar  
on my mac, preferably free. pgmyadmin is not an option.

Thanks in advance!

Jeroen

I hear that pgadmin has been ported (or it’s at least in the works):

I know of a few:

If you install the DarwinPorts postgres8, it gives you a client.  
Can’t recall what it is offhand but one day I was doing something and  
it popped up. It’s there…

PGnJ - A Java client. [http://www.trikenit.com/projects/pgnj](http://www.trikenit.com/projects/pgnj)

Druware has a postgres client: [Druware Software Designs](http://www.druware.com/products/)  
postgresql.html

DbVisualizer (which is prob the closest to Sql Manager) - [www.dbvis.com](http://www.dbvis.com)

And yah, PgAdmin3 works.

Hi,  
the new navicat postgresql runs on mac and looks pretty nice… even  
if quite expensive…
