Subject: [GENERAL] Simple, free PG GUI/query tool wanted

Hi:

I'm trying to find a simple, easy-to-use, open (free), Windows based
query tool for PG. This would be something for the novice end user, a
means to build a query, execute it, export results out to a csv or Excel
or something like that. Tools with metadata editors are actually
undesirable (they don't need it, will just serve to get the confussed,
could give them info that would get them into trouble). GOing through
ODBC is undesirable, but understandable if there are no other options.

I've looked through the Community_Guide_to_PostgreSQL_GUI_Tools but
found nothing that foots that bill (but I may have missed something).
I'm looking for something similar to MySQL's "Query Browser" or SQLyog.

Hi,

pgadmin is still an admin tool, NOT a simple user query tool. I'd suggest PG Access as worth a look, but unfortunately it is no longer supported, and I have never tried it with a recent version of Postgres.

Gnome and KDE and OpenOffice all have free simple query tools

you could try SQLWorkbench (http://www.sql-workbench.net/)

You can use free tool - Valentina Studio
http://www.valentina-db.com/en/valentina-studio-overview 14 Feb 2013 in the
5.0 version added support of PostgreSQL, as well as mySQL/mariaDB, SQLite.
It is FREE. Works on Mac, Win and Linux. Includes not only db management but
powerfull reports that work again on 3 OS.
