i want to love datagrip but it big, slow, memory-hungry, and presents an unfamiliar paradigm to me over against most tools i've used for admin tasks. other than this last issue, do you have any suggestions for streamlining the experience?
I already use several development tools from JetBrains, so it made sense to streamline everything since I'm familiar with their terminology and UI.
I recommend going with DBeaver if you're only using it for admin tasks and small queries. It's probably your best option for a free, lightweight client. Another strong alternative I keep reading about is TablePlus, but I don't have any personal experience with it.
