Galaxy vs. DBeaver
The Best DBeaver Alternative for SQL Querying
Why Developers Are Moving From
DBeaver to Galaxy
Old & Painful to Use
DBeaver is truly old and difficult to use, lacking a modern interface and integrations with MySQL and AWS Dynamo.
No Collaboration Features
No way to share or version control queries with teams. Devs rely on manual copy-pasting in Slack / Notion
No AI Functionality
DBeaver lacks AI functionality entirely, slowing down teams and forcing them to paste queries & schema into Claude / ChatGPT directly
