Believe me, after several years of waiting to find a cheap non windows substitute for DBartizan, I have finally found one and I have been very picky. So the big winner is RazorSQL and for $69, well worth it and feature ridden. The Razor is lightning fast and is only a 16meg download and has everything an SQL developer needs including a TSQL editor. The other is RazorSQL which only costs $69 per user.Īqua data studio is good, but a resource hog and basically pretty sluggish and has non essential features such as the ER diagram tool, which is pretty bad at that. The first one is Aqua Data Studio which costs about $450 per user, which is a barely acceptable, but cheap compared to DBArtizan and others with similar functionality (but MS only). However, now (March 2010) I believe there are two serious contenders and worthwhile versions for the MAC and Linux which have a low cost associated with them. I don't use the MS product because it is only limited to MS SQL.īottom line is nothing free is worthwhile, nor were most commercial non windows products Nothing compared to DBArtizan on Windows as far as I was concerned and I was prepared to use it with Fusion or VirtualBox. That included dbvisualizer, squirrel (particularly bad, even though the windows haters in my office swear by it), the oracle SQL developer and a bunch of others.

I have tried just about everything for MAC and Linux and never found anything worthwhile.

I also ended up using Fusion and a Windows client. When this question was asked there were very few tools out there were worth much.
