Galaxy vs. pgAdmin
The Best pgAdmin Alternative for SQL Querying
Why Developers Are Moving From
pgAdmin to Galaxy
Not Database Agnostic
pgAdmin is meant only for PostgreSQL. It also lacks the modern tooling and capabilities of a 21st century querying platform.
No Collaboration Features
pgAdmin has no way to share or version control queries with teams. Devs rely on manual copy-pasting in Slack / Notion
No AI Functionality
pgAdmin lacks AI functionality entirely, slowing down teams and forcing them to paste queries & schema into Claude / ChatGPT directly
