TablePlus VS starrocks

https://tableplus.com/

It was oddly hard to find a DB editor, I needed something as slick as ArcType -- a feature packed DB editor that is recently shut down. Ideally, it would have been a vscode extension like Docker/Kubernets so I could stay in my IDE but failing to find a good looking one there, I opted to find an application.

Tried, Azure Data Studio and DBVis.com but finally happy with TablePlus. It is a freemium model but i'm okay with two windows and two tabs.

I'm using Table Plus to connect to the RDS Postgres database, you could use any Postgres Client.

This is great, especially to introduce new devs to models. I use (and love) TablePlus (https://tableplus.com/) which has a diagram generator plugin that does the same!

Tools like TablePlus, DBeaver, or HeidiSQL provide visual query building interfaces. While not performance analysis tools per se, they can help you build and understand complex queries more easily.

TablePlus first greeted the world in 2017 and is the newest addition to the list. The UI is simple and sleek without any redundant modules, making it quick and easy to get started with.

TablePlus (https://tableplus.com/) is my current goto - even has a nice iOS app for on the run queries. I have fond memories of Sequel Pro and this app scratches that itch.

Starting in 2017, TablePlus is the newbie on the list, and its modern and simple UI reflects it. It supports most relational databases and some NoSQL ones. When they just started, they only supported macOS, but it is now available on Windows, Linux, and iOS (!). It is not open-source, but the roadmap is open and anyone can open an issue on their GitHub Issue Tracker. TablePlus has two plans: a free tier (has no limit on trial time) and a paid subscription model (license) with extended features.

DBngin also happens to be made by the company behind my favorite database GUI tool, TablePlus. If you use TablePlus, you can click on the arrow next to the "Start/Stop" button and open the database right in TablePlus.

tidb has been around for a while, it is distributed, written in Go and Rust, and MySQL compatible. https://github.com/pingcap/tidb

Somewhat relatedly, StarRocks is also MySQL compatible, written in Java and C++, but it's tackling OLAP use-cases. https://github.com/StarRocks/starrocks

I think you're talking about doing denormalization before importing data into an OLAP system to avoid subsequent joins. However, this greatly limits the flexibility of data modeling. Moreover, denormalization can be a headache-inducing process. In fact, I have tested StarRocks (https://github.com/StarRocks/starrocks), and it is capable of performing joins while streaming data imports, and the speed is very fast. It's worth giving it a try.

https://github.com/apache/doris Is a great example. Same for it's cousin https://github.com/StarRocks/starrocks that was an early fork of the doris project.

To be fair, these are the only examples I can think of and I only learned of these as I'm standing up new data infra using starrocks.

ClickHouseClickHouse and Starrocks are similar. They are both columnar databases powered by vectorization tech, which means they are really fast.

StarRocks, it’s a Linux Foundation project now, but a lot of the initial team and community behind it came from China.

Funny that I hadn’t heard of them in the database space till they showed up at the top of ClickBench. Makes me wonder what other interesting projects I’m missing out on in China.

Full disclosure - I work for StarRocks (starrocks.com)

First of all, this is great. Transparent and healthy competition is always great for the customers!

Regarding the joined table queries that are missing in the tests, this is exactly why we built StarRocks - to give people the best performance of complex analytics queries on both joined tables and single tables.
