PostgreSQL on OS X
« blojsom on PostgreSQL | Main | TypeKey4J 1.1 Available »I like GUIs and the MySQL folks have done a good job with MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser. It makes database maintenance that much easier. I also use YourSQL for table editing of data. If MySQL had a similar tool to YourSQL, I'd really be happy.
So that I could test blojsom on PostgreSQL myself, I went searching for PostgreSQL on OS X information. Unfortunately, for me, there's too much command-line in this Apple article describing PostgreSQL on Mac OS X. I'm sure all of it would've worked out just fine, but phooey. I ran across PostgreSQL for Mac. They've got some good GUI tools for installing and managing PostgreSQL on OS X. And while they worked and I could successfully deploy blojsom on PostgreSQL, I wanted something better.
And it looks like EnterpriseDB is it. It even has a nice GUI for managing your PostgreSQL installation.
I'd still like a table editor similar to YourSQL for table editing of data, but installation and setup of EnterpriseDB was far easier than the PostgreSQL for Mac setup.

It's not free, but Navicat PostgreSQL has done an excellent job for me.
