It’s a 🔥🔥 July week here in Dallas, so we’ve got some equally 🔥🔥 new Beekeeper Studio features for you!
New Features
-
💥 Table Schema Editing - Edit your table column types, names, defaults, etc. Want to check the code before running? Pop open the change in a new SQL tab.
-
🤩 Persisted Pinned Tables - When you are using a saved connection, your pinned tables will now persist across sessions.
-
🤟 Visual Table Builder - Create new tables visually right inside of Beekeeper Studio. No need to remember all that syntax anymore.
-
🏃 Faster Loading Table View - We no longer load a table count for each page of the table data view, which drastically speeds up load times.
Beekeeper Studio is still (and always will be) free and open source, so if you love the app get involved! Here is our list of ways to help in 10 minutes without coding.
Behind the Scenes
We recently became a monorepo in order to launch SQLTools - a suite of relational database tools for everyone on the internet. SQLTools has helped us generalize some of Beekeeper’s new features, which means they can be useful outside of the app.
This is a big change that took a lot of work, but we think it is worth it. We’re a small, part-time team, so SQLTools gives us a way to scale the benefit of our work without copy-pasting code, without needing to hire anyone, and without adding (much) to our workloads.
They’re also symbiotic - SQLTools improves Beekeeper, which improves SQLTools, ad infinitum.
We hope the effort was worth it, and some of you get value from the new site.
