DataGrip vs HeidiSQL

DataGrip is a desktop IDE for relational and NoSQL databases, available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It connects to more than 50 supported databases and helps organize and manage database objects. SQL assistance includes code completion, inspections, error highlighting, quick-fixes, and refactoring. JetBrains AI Assistant can use database context to draft SQL from natural language and help correct errors, and the IDE supports workflows with AI agents such as Codex and Claude Agent. Its spreadsheet-like editor lets users inspect, change, and analyze data; the IDE also works with SQL, CSV, and JSON files and supports data import and export. Queries can run in a dedicated window or console, with result comparisons and work history through Local History and version control integrations including Git, SVN, and Mercurial. Individual non-commercial development has a free plan. Commercial use costs $10.90 a month, billed monthly, and includes a 30-day trial. Detailed code-related data collection for individual non-commercial users may be enabled by default, with an opt-out in settings.

HeidiSQL is free desktop database client software for connecting to databases and editing their data and structures. It supports MariaDB, MySQL, MS SQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Interbase, Firebird, ProxySQL, and Redshift, with multiple connections in one window. Connections can use SSH tunnels or SSL settings. Users can create and edit tables, views, stored routines, triggers, and scheduled events. The query editor provides customizable syntax highlighting, code completion, SQL reformatting, and query history. Text files can be imported, while table rows can be exported as CSV, HTML, XML, SQL, LaTeX, Textile, PHP, Markdown, or JSON. Data can also be exported directly between servers or databases. Builds are offered for Windows, Linux, and macOS, including Linux x64 and arm64 packages, a macOS arm64 app bundle, and a Windows x64 portable edition. HeidiSQL requires an available database server or SQLite file; the requirements page says running through Wine is currently unstable and suggests native Linux instead.
