Modern and easy to use SQL client for MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, SQL Server, and more. Linux, MacOS, and Windows.

Check them out and finally, there is Beekeeper Studio, a database client. We will use it to view and sometimes manage and interact with the databases we create. There is a community edition so read the docs and install whatever version of the applications you want.
