I work almost exclusively within the Retool database at this point, and I am finding the built in management tool to be quite frustrating and somewhat difficult to work with.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a third party software that works well with the Retool database? Thank you.
Any PostgreSQL compatible client will work.
If you can get a licence then I would recommend DataGrip
But free options would be DBeaver, HeidiSQL, or VSCode
Hi @tomm - Iād also recommend pgAdmin4. Open source, works well, and built for PostgreSQL.
Thanks for reaching out, @tomm! I'm going to move this over to the Discussion category, just because the question is a bit more open-ended and not specific to Retool.
That said, I'll second the recommendation for pgAdmin4! It's pretty simple but gets the job done. Is there any specific functionality that you're looking for?
I attempted to use pgAdmin4, but when the changed I tried to make to any data did not show up when I viewed the data through the Retool interface.
It's probably worth noting that pgAdmin4 doesn't provide a graphical interface in the same way that Retool does, but it is a great platform for connecting to your data and writing SQL queries. Can you describe in more detail what you're trying to do?
I want to be able to enter, update and possibly delete data from my databases. When I use the Retool interface, it is constantly jumping all over the place and I just find it difficult to work with.
Ah got it - unfortunately, I'm not aware of a tool that emulates the same visual editing experience that you get within Retool. Does the existing interface just feel unfamiliar or are you experiencing something buggy?
