PopSQL is the most seamless database client out there!

What do you like best about PopSQL?

- User Interface. It's smooth, modern and easy to use.

- Easy to setup connections

- Parameterized Queries

- SQL query autocomplete suggestions

- Schema introspections

I started using PopSQL almost 2 years ago, and it's always my go-to for querying a relational database. I first learned about it in a freecodecamp video on learning SQL, and having tried over a dozen other market offerings for SQL clients, I can confidently say that PopSQL is the best out there!

The user interface is one of its strongest points, having a sleek, responsive and reactive layout that keeps the important elements in focus. Outdated UIs like pgAdmin, dbeaver and mysqlworkbench do not have the same smoothness or UX.

The parameterized queries are a blessing for plugging in values through a dropdown, selection or otherwise. The introspection is fast, and shows all relevant data such as column names and types in milliseconds!

What do you dislike about PopSQL?

While I'm aware that PopSQL has more features like Dashboarding, query alerts and others, I just don't use them as much, and just prefer it as a reliable SQL client that can help me get my database work done with the least amount of effort.

What problems is PopSQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

PopSQL is making data accessibility easier for both individuals and organizations. I'm more productive when I use it and can easily share queries with teammates thus improving collaboration. There's no huge technical barrier between me and the database when I'm using PopSQL. Their support system is excellent, and customer care is quite helpful.
