Use DbVisualizer to connect and manage your Postgres databases. With extended support for pgSQL specific object types you can enjoy the full suite of smart features that DbVisualizer has to offer.
Support for PostgreSQL object types
Object types
PostgreSQL includes many different object types. There are object types commonly found in several databases, like Schemas and Tables. Other object types are unique, such as Sequences, Domains and Aggregates. In DbVisualizer, you’ll easily find and manage all objects in your database.
Object type actions
Each object type has a unique purpose and supported actions. As a powerful PostgreSQL Client, DbVisualizer supports the unique actions of every object type in pgSQL. You can write custom SQL to perform the actions, or simply right-click on the object and select the preferred action.

Simple, yet powerful PostgreSQL editor

Writing SQL for pgSQL is similar, but not exactly the same as for any other database. DbVisualizer understands these differences and will make relevant suggestions, so that you can create SQL queries more efficiently.
SQL formatting
Copy-paste long unformatted SQL queries for into DbVisualizer, and automatically format it in the way you prefer directly in the PostgreSQL client.
Variables
Once you’ve created a beautiful and complex query you might need to execute it several times, only changing small details. DbVisualizer supports the use of client-side variables, which will help you simplify this processes significantly.

Automatic visualizations for your PostgreSQL databases
Entity relationship diagrams (ERDs)
Postgres is a relational database, and as such the relations between tables and data is crucial to understand. DbVisualizer will help you automatically generate visual ERDs so that you can better understand dependencies and opportunitites, directly in the client.
Explain plans
DbVisualizer can present a visual explain plan from the database to help guide you in writing queries that the database can handle more efficiently.
Scheduling with pgAgent
DbVisualizer supports the use of pgAgent for scheduling of tasks.
Jobs can also be automatically scheduled outside of the PostgreSQL client, using the command-line interface and the pre-built scheduling tools of your OS.

When you are a developer you need decent access to multiple databases and vendor databases. Having that in one tool is also excellent. I go between PostgreSQL, SQLServer, and Oracle all the time simultaneously.Verified PostgreSQL user.
