SQLPro Studio is the premium database management tool for Postgres, MySQL, Microsoft Management Studio, and Oracle databases. Intellisense/SQL auto-completion; Syntax highlighting with customizable themes (including dark) Tab-based interface for an optimal user experience. Don’t get me wrong: compared to SQL Server Management Studio, Azure Data Studio is “nice” but 😉 But hey, I can run it directly on my Mac (without the need of a Windows VM), I can run SQL statements, I have access to Estimated and Actual Execution Plans, and very importantly – it’s extensible.
