pgAdmin
pgAdmin is a graphical tool for administering, developing with, and monitoring PostgreSQL databases. It runs as desktop software or in server mode, where multiple users can access it over the web. It supports PostgreSQL and EDB Postgres Advanced Server versions supported at the time each pgAdmin release is issued. Query tools include syntax highlighting, a data grid, graphical query plans, schema diff, an ERD tool, and a procedural language debugger. Users can manage common database objects and inspect their SQL definitions, properties, dependencies, and available statistics. Maintenance features include a monitoring dashboard, auto-vacuum management, and on-demand backup, restore, vacuum, and analyze operations. It also supports SSH tunneling, data editing, query history, and binary, CSV, or text result exports. The free plan costs nothing under the PostgreSQL Licence. Downloads include Windows and macOS installers, Linux packages, Docker, a Python wheel, and source code. Only the latest release is supported; there are no long-term stable versions.
